Schomburg: The Man Who Built a Library
This excellent work of history illuminates Schomburg and his legendary collection for a new generation—it belongs in all public and school libraries.
The Crane Girl
This well-crafted tale offers students an introduction to traditional Japanese culture and folklore and should be a welcome addition in public and school libraries.
Bridging the Divide: Tom Bradley and the Politics of Race
Though it glosses over Bradley's final years, this documentary provides strong evidence of his skill in building bridges. An excellent introduction to his life and times, this is a good resource for high school students.
Rooting for Rafael Rosales
This lacks the humor of Audrey Vernick's Screaming at the Ump or the high drama of Paul Volponi's Game Seven, but thoughtful readers who enjoy compelling characters and learning about how baseball is played in other countries may appreciate this title.
A Rocketful of Space Poems
Accessible if unmemorable, this is a supplemental purchase for large poetry collections.
The Last Kappa of Old Japan: A Magical Journey of Two Friends
This engaging tale offers an easy-to-understand environmental lesson along with an accessible introduction to Japanese folklore and culture for young readers.
Mickey Mantle: The Commerce Comet
Highly recommended for school and public libraries, this nuanced look at one of baseball's iconic players has lessons for fans young and old.
And Then the Sky Exploded
Fast-moving, but the strained plot, along with thin characters and all-too-easy resolutions, makes this title unconvincing and unmemorable. Not recommended.
Henry & Me
Predictable and message-laden. Nonetheless, some baseball fans and, in particular, Yankees devotees and their families will enjoy the trip down memory lane. Purchase for large public library collections.
