This book is based on a true story of the friendship between a boy and a baseball legend. It is a great way for students to get an idea of the struggles Jackie Robinson went through as an African American baseball player. Plus, how many kids get to be friends with their baseball hero? Not only does 8 year old Steven Satlow get this opportunity but he also experiences biases when an African American family moves into his all Jewish Neighborhood.
Interest level: grades 3-5
