It was a different time. Imagine not being able to play professional baseball because you were the wrong race. Despite the injustice of the era, Jackie Robinson kept his focus on what he wanted to do, play baseball. A Picture Book of Jackie Robinson is extremely well illustrated and spans from 1919-1972. This is not an easy read for children. There's lots of words on each page. However, it's an important and encouraging story for all ages. Perfect for this time of year when baseball is at its peak.
