"A wonderful picture book biography. Little girls will be inspired."* This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling, in particular for children ages 4 to 6. It's a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for children. Effa always loved baseball. As a young woman, she would go to Yankee Stadium just to see Babe Ruth's mighty swing. But she never dreamed she would someday own a baseball team. Or be the first--and only--woman ever inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. From her childhood in Philadelphia to her groundbreaking role as business manager and owner of the Newark Eagles, Effa Manley always fought for what was right. And she always swung for the fences. From author Audrey Vernick and illustrator Don Tate comes the remarkable story of an all-star of a woman. *Brightly.com Similar books: Satchel Paige by Lesa Cline-Ransome I am Jackie Robinson by Brad Meltzer Hank Aaron by Peter Golenbock Promises to Keep by Sharon Robinson You Never Heard of Sandy Koufax?! by Jonah Winter Jackie Robinson by Arnold Rampersad Who Was Jackie Robinson? by Gail Herman Catching the Moon by Crystal Hubbard Satchel by Larry Tye Miracle Mud by David A.
