"I read Mr. Uhlberg's memoir of his childhood and his deaf parents. That inspired me to look into Uhlberg's children's books. This is one of the stories touched on in the adult memoir. I think it is a beautifully told and illustrated story of a different time in America. Perhaps today, with Barack Obama as president, it is relevant to look back at the breaking of another barrier in American Life. This fictionalized story of a moment in Uhlberg's youth covers the thrills and the willfulness of 60 years ago. Beautifully told. Realistically illustrated."
"This book follows a young boy and his father during the 1947 Major League Baseball fan. The boy is an avid Dodgers fan but his father never seemed all that interested in baseball. That is, until Jackie Robinson comes along. The young boy's father is deaf and he has endured prejudice his whole life. He feels a connection to Jackie Robinson and becomes a huge fan. The boy and his father attend many games and collect all the clippings about Jackie. In the end, the young boy learns why his father feels such a connection. The author's note explains that this is a semi-autobiographical story."
