When Dawson is told to turn off the TV and go to bed, he huffs and puffs and kicks the couch. When Dawson is told to put his shoes on for school, he shouts and pouts. When Dawson sees his best friend, he gets so excited, he leaps in the air and comes crashing down on him. And when Dawson spills paint on his most-favorite shirt, he panics and gasps for breath. Dawson has lots of strong emotions – anger, sadness, excitement, and worry – and each one feels gigantic. Can Dawson’s caring adults help him find a way to harness those emotions in a safe, healthy way? Or will his feelings be the boss of him?

The Rayl family of Lincoln, Indiana, is a family of deep Christian faith. They are also in love with basketball because of the father, Roger Rayl, who still plays pickup games against high school players in his late forties and writes about it constantly as a sports editor for the local newspaper. Roger has a great love for basketball and has passed it on to his son, Randy, who is a still-developing player and a big dreamer. Roger teaches Randy his famous hook shot, which later enables him to move from a manager to a varsity player. Roger eventually begins doing freelance writing for a national publication, which allows him to travel and cover major national tournaments. The town of Lincoln, ironically, is a baseball town with many state titles and a great coach. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is also a very important part of this book.
