Dad, Jackie, and Me
written by Myron Uhlberg, illustrated by Colin Bootman and published by Peachtree Press
About
This exceptional portrayal of a young boy's affectionate relationship with his deaf father hits home when his dad identifies with baseball player Jackie Robinson and recognizes that discrimination takes many forms. Expressive illustrations evoke the 1940s era and capture mood, warmth, and sensitivity.
