pickNonfiction-It was named the Robert F. Sibert Honor Book. The information is presented clearly and in a storytelling style that makes complex historical events easy to understand. This book is meant for older elementary to middle school students.
As a teacher, I can use this book in the classroom to connect it to social studies. I can teach about segregation and the civil rights movement through the lens of baseball. Students will be able to explore how sports reflect larger issues of equality in American history.
“And he's just become the first black man to play major-league baseball in the twentieth century.“
I would use this book in a classroom as an option for students to write history reports on. Very informational read!
pickThis is a great and easy read book for younger and older children. It's very informative and has a lot of good facts about Jackie Robinson's journey through the baseball league. This would be great for any child who loves baseball!
