Now in paperback, here is the story of groundbreaking baseball player Jackie Robinson, part of the New York Times bestselling series of biographies of heroes for ages 5 to 9.
Each picture book in this series is a biography of a significant historical figure, told in a simple, conversational, vivacious way, and always focusing on a character trait that made the person heroic. The heroes are depicted as children throughout, telling their life stories in first-person present tense, which keeps the books playful and accessible to young children. And each book ends with a line of encouragement, a direct quote, and photos on the last page.
This title features Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play Major League Baseball. His bravery made history, leading the way to equality in all sports in America.

• A timeline of key events in the hero’s history
• Photos that bring the story more fully to life
• Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable
