Try, from bestselling authors, rugby legends and best friends Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield is an irresistibly big-hearted picture book about a friendship between two young boys – written with Emma Adams and illustrated by Ben Whitehouse.

Meet Rob and Kevin. They play games together, laugh together and go to school together. They have lots of other friends. But Rob always has Kevin. And Kevin always has Rob.

When their teacher asks the class to think of their hero, Kevin knows exactly who to pick: the fast, brave and strong captain of the Roaring Bears rugby team! Rob, however, feels unsure. Do heroes really have to be big and strong? Before long, Rob and Kevin start to realise that perhaps being a hero isn't all about strength and muscles – it's much, much more than that . . .

From the creators of the number one bestselling With You Every Step, Try celebrates affectionate and caring friendships, showing young readers, and especially young boys, the power of friendships based in love, trust and vulnerability – and that there are many ways to be strong.

For every copy sold, Macmillan Children's Books will donate 50p to be split equally between the Motor Neurone Disease Association (registered charity number: 294354) and Leeds Hospitals Charity (registered charity number: 1170369).

Author Information

Rob Burrow MBE played Rugby League for nearly 20 years for Leeds Rhinos, England and Great Britain winning every possible honour in the sport. Rob always defied the odds as the shortest player in a sport full of giants. In December 2019, Rob was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) and applied the same determined attitude to his fight against MND and for those impacted by the disease. Rob died in June 2024.

Kevin Sinfield OBE is one of the most successful Rugby League players of all time for club and country, playing over 500 games in his career and winning every trophy available to him. One of the youngest-ever captains in the history of Leeds Rhinos when he was first appointed, his name is a short cut for leadership and inspiration to all who know him.
