"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 didn't have a bat. He didn't have a ball. And there wasn't a single black ballplayer in the major leagues. But none of this could stop him. In a captivating biography of Henry Aaron's young life, Matt Tavares pays inspiring homage to one of baseball's all-time greats.Author Biography
When I set out to write about Henry Aaron, I expected to focus on his historic quest to break Major League Baseball's all-time home-run record. But in researching his life, I found that the most fascinating part of Henry Aaron's story took place before he ever set foot on a big-league baseball field -- back when he was a skinny kid who held his bat the wrong way; but who never gave up his dream, even when it seemed impossible.
Matt Tavares lives in Ogunquit, Maine.
