This Coretta Scott King author award book written and illustrated by Kadir Nelson explores the history of African Americans in baseball. The lifelike illustrations of the actual players and fields give the reader a vivid picture of what baseball was like for the players. The narrative is told from the viewpoint of a player and explores the hardships endured by the players as well as celebrating their talents, personalities, fortitude, and contribution to the history and legacy of baseball in America.
At my post regarding this book I have included a Negro League Word Search and a Jackie Robinson coloring page if any of your readers are interested :-)
