(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Brian Biggs. When "pre-basketball" is offered, eight-year-old African American boy EllRay jumps at the chance; he learns that practice, support from friends, and self-confidence help him "stand tall" on and off the court. Like other EllRay books, this warm ninth volume centers on friendship and navigating one's place in the world as EllRay helps his little sister, Alfie, and his new friend Marco.
