Campanella, Roy

Illustrated by
Gordon C. James.
Campanella, whose father was Italian American and mother was African American, was a seminal figure in the integration of major-league baseball. This wordy but informative picture book biography gives readers a portrait of Campanella's personal life and baseball career, including becoming a coach after being injured in a terrible car accident. Stirring but muddy paintings illustrate the events. Reading list, timeline, websites.
