This rousing tribute should resonate with a wide audience."School Library Journal(starred review)
Before he was Hammerin Hank, Henry Aaron was a young boy growing up in Mobile, Alabama, with what seemed like a foolhardy dream: to be a big-league baseball player. He didnt have a bat. He didnt have a ball. And there wasnt a single black ballplayer in the major leagues. But none of this could stop him. In a captivating biography of Henry Aarons young life, Matt Tavares pays inspiring homage to one of baseballs all-time greats.
