If someone has the ability to do something, they should have the same opportunities as everyone else. This recounted story was conveyed through key details in the pictures and text.

I also love sports, so to combine history and sports is a great thing. school:1.) A good book to read during Black History Month. 2.) Students can discuss sports, and other black historians that first play in sports. The message of this story is to stand up for your beliefs even if others disagree with you. The point of view in this book made this an interesting story to follow. The book is told from the perspective of a young boy named Matty who sees Jackie Robinson play at the Dodger’s opening game. He is confused why so many people hate Jackie and comes to the decision that he likes the African American player because he is a good athlete. Reading the book from a white fan’s viewpoint gives the reader insight into what it was like to be at a baseball game when African Americans were discriminated against. Most of the books about Jackie Robinson are biographies and do not describe how the fans felt seeing a black man play a white man’s sport. I also liked that the main character was strong in his beliefs and did not follow the prejudices of the majority. He even made friends with a young African American boy and wore a pin for Jackie Robinson. His standing up against the status quo made this story and its message more impactful to the reader. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

I can see this book being used to talk about Jackie Robinson, perhaps having a teacher emphasize the heroic role Robinson played. ( )
