Jackie's Nine: Jackie Robinson's Values to Live By

181 pp. | Scholastic | May, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-439-23764-5 $$15.95
(4) 4-6 Written by Jackie Robinson's daughter, this book contains nine sections, each focusing on one of nine values the ballplayer lived by (courage, determination, and so on). Each section contains a scene from the author's life, one from her father's (by various writers, including Robinson himself), and a sketch of one of her heroes. Fuzzy, blue-tinted photos illustrate the diffuse, though often moving, tribute.
