(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Cedric Lucas. Young James finds an old rusted golf club and starts practicing in an empty field, but his father tells him there is no room for a black man in golf in the 1950s. Undeterred, James gets a job as a caddy, and mentored by an older black man, he learns to play by the light of the moon. When his great skill is revealed one day, the white golfers start asking James for lessons. Gentle pastel and pencil illustrations support this quietly powerful story.
