Backgammon book for kids

What backgammon book would you recommend for a 10/11yo kid

The kid has some very basic knowledge, loves to play and I'm sure she would love to read and learn more about the game.

I wonder if there are any specific books for kids or anything that makes backgammon easy to learn.

I really love Michi’s books. Opening Concepts is a great to start with. It starts pretty basic and has fun little cartoons aliens to accompany the content. My daughter is younger though so I’m not a good judge on if it would be good for a 10/11 year old.

This isn’t what you asked for, but this video series is also excellent. Not geared towards kids, but the content is relatively bite sized and well done. Perhaps slightly on the dry side for kids though.
