Sharon tells a true story about her father testing the ice so the family and friends could ice skate including the story of his breaking the color barrier in baseball. This is my favorite because of Nelson’s fabulous, realistic, based on family photographs, illustrations. Don’t miss the conversation between Branch Rickey and Jackie, Jackie sliding into home base—SAFE!, and the children’s faces when he tells his story. This is my favorite of the Show Me Nominees. Nelson is awesome.
