(4) K-3 On My Own Biography series. Illustrated by Rodney S. Pate. Illustrated with muted color drawings depicting Robinson at different points in his remarkable life, this biography of the first African-American major league baseball player emphasizes the influence of race and family on his career and his personal life. This is a straightforward if somewhat fictionalized introduction to a baseball legend for newly independent readers. A list of important dates is appended.
