Henry is a young, black boy who wishes to play baseball and to make it to the big leagues. Matt Tavares, the author, does a wonderful job of showing how through perseverance and dedication, Henry is able to achieve his dream. He even gets to play against Jackie Robinson, his childhood role model. This is an amazing book, paired with vibrant illustrations, a must-read for young minds.
