M. Uhlberg - It is the summer of 1947 in New York City, and history is in-the-making. Jackie Robinson is the new first baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He also happens to be the first black man to play in major league baseball. For one young boy, this extra-special summer will bring the chance of a lifetime: to visit Ebbets Field and to share with his father the thrill of Robinson's rookie season. This beautifully illustrated storybook is about prejudice and triumph and is a heartwarming story about a father and a son. Reading level: Ages 9-12. (34 pgs, hardcover, 10" x 11")
