Dancing On Our Own Book

“Dancing on Our Own” by Rich Knopke is a heartfelt, humorous children’s book and family story that celebrates growing up as a Philadelphia sports fan—even when you live far from the city’s hometown teams.

At its core, the book follows parents raising their kids in a “sports enemy territory,” determined to pass down their love for Philadelphia teams like the Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles, Sixers, and Flyers. Through playful storytelling, sports nostalgia, and family-centered humor, it explores what it means to build identity, loyalty, and tradition around a city you love from afar.
