Welcome to Litsy!

I don‘t think I‘ve read any ballgame/baseball books. This pic is from the only Major League game I have been to—during my trip to Toronto. It was a fun experience. #litsyspringbreak @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheKidUpstairs

“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.”

I would use this in my classroom to show students the history of sports and the history of African Americans. This book is also very engaging for older elementary students.

This book is a biography because it tells the accurate story of Jackie Robinson and his life. This is interesting to children because he changed the sports world forever by being the first African American to play professional baseball.

This Biography (B) would be great for a baseball loving student to read independently (IR). These novels are very informative and will keep students interested if they like the person they‘re reading about.
