Illustrated by
James E. Ransome.
This picture-book biography captures the immensely talented and individualistic Leroy "Satchel" Paige to the life, seeming--thanks to conversational prose and spectacle-filled pictures--barely able to contain the force of his gift and personality. Cline-Ransome, for all her leisurely down-home style and sheer comfort in storytelling, nonetheless packs the text with valuable information about both Paige and the world of baseball.
