Mem Fox has many messages for her readers.
One message is to always try your best. Also that our parents will always love us no matter what. Lastly, it doesn't matter if you win or loose, only that you tried your very best.

The lesson we thought Mem Fox was trying to tell us was;
1. It doesn't matter where you finish as long as you try your best!
2. Your mom and dad will always love you, but sometimes they may be to busy to say it
3. You can tell your parents you love them and not just wait for them to tell you.

# data[].attributes.body
We think that the author was teaching us that your parents will always love you even if they don't say it. Not to be jealous. Second place is still really good. It doesn't matter if you don't win it just matters that you try. Never give up.

Everybody in your family still loves you, but if nobody speaks to you about love, you might think they don't. Sometimes they are so busy so you have to think inside of you they still love you.

Everybody loves you, if you think nobody loves you they actually do love you!

Who cares if someone wins! It is just a game and your mother or father always loves you even if they don't tell you.

Room 5 discussed this during book club. We all made connections to having sibling rivalry. Almost everyone has a sibling and could relate to mom not spending enough time with us, even me! I have 4 sisters and brothers!!! Mrs. Hobbs' class.
