"Play Ball, Jackie!" by Joe Morse tells the inspiring story of Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play in Major League Baseball. The narrative captures Jackie’s determination, bravery, and the challenges he faced as he broke the color barrier in a racially divided America. Through vivid illustrations and heartfelt storytelling, readers are introduced to Jackie not just as a baseball player, but as a symbol of resilience and courage. The story emphasizes themes of perseverance, equality, and the power of sports to unite people, making it a compelling read for young audiences and a celebration of Jackie's remarkable legacy.
