On the Ball

(2) K-3 "Owen loved playing ball. BUT playing ball...didn't always love Owen." With a subtle message about perseverance, Pinkney's latest offering begins on a soccer field, then takes flight as a boy's imagination soars. After a series of fantastical scenes, Owen floats and flies through the game, having learned about focus and determination. Loose black-ink brushstrokes accented with swabs of color visually convey movement.
