This book tells about Larry Bird in a way that I was not use to. It tells from the perspective of his childhood. I would use this book in my classroom to discuss how setting your goals high can maybe one day lead you to the place you want to be. The book tells of all of Larry's hard work and how his dream one day became a reality.
I found the art work in this book very beautiful and bright. I have been studying Robert Casilla who is the illustrator of this book. You should check his art work out in some of his other books. http://www.robertcasilla.com/books.asp ( )
