Earlier today I neglected to write the authors' names for the book Black Diamond: The Story of the Negro Leagues written by Fredrick McKissack, Jr., and Patricia McKissack (Scholastic, 1994, also in paparback). Fred McKissack's newest book Black Hoops: The History of African Americans in Basketball will be also published by Scholastic in February, 1999.
We'll discuss sports in picture books and novels as well as biographies, poetry about sports, and other non-fiction during January.
The fine young adult novel Walk the Dark Streets by Edith Baer recommended today by Ron Green was preceded by Baer's novel Frost in the Night involving the same family. The earlier book was published in 1981 or so, and fortunately it was reprinted this year in a paperback edition by Farrar. You might find it in hardcover in your school or public library. Don't miss either book.
Any other favorites? ... Ginny
