"A wonderful picture book biography. Little girls will be
inspired."* This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice to
share during homeschooling, in particular for children ages 4 to 6. It's
a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for
children.
Effa always loved baseball. As a young woman, she would go to Yankee
Stadium just to see Babe Ruth's mighty swing. But she never dreamed she
would someday own a baseball team. Or be the first--and only--woman ever
inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
From her childhood in Philadelphia to her groundbreaking role as
business manager and owner of the Newark Eagles, Effa Manley always
fought for what was right. And she always swung for the fences.
From author Audrey Vernick and illustrator Don Tate comes the remarkable
story of an all-star of a woman.
