I bought this for my grandson who is autistic and soon will be starting to play basketball, I thought this may help him to be patient when learning a new activity because he gets so frustrated when things do not go the way he would like them to go
I think Deloris Jordan have given boys of all ages an inspiring, heart-felt book. The title of the book says it all, and the story is adorable and inspiring at the same time. This book will be perfect for any young boy's library, and I guarantee it will make a great bedtime story.
I had to give this book 5 stars because it was right on time. My child is experiencing some difficulties with school right now. He is discouraged and feeling down. Well this book comes right along and reinterates EVERYTHING I've been telling him! It was such a blessing. I ordered the book because I knew it would keep his attention (Michael Jordan and Basketball) but it also encouraged him. I bought a used copy and it was in very good condition. We are very pleased.
Michael Jordan's mother offers her perspective on Michael Jordan's athletic success in this lengthy picture book. Her emphasis on "homework first!" felt a bit didactic, and seeing his Olympic dream far outweigh thoughts of a pro-basketball career seemed a little artificial, but no matter. Michael Jordan fans and kids looking for sports books will gobble this one up. Full-color watercolor and gouache illustrations by Barry Root (known for his book covers on sports chapter books by Tiki Barber) elevate would could have been an otherwise dull read.
This was an excelent book for our Summer Reading Program! The book was like new with great pictures and nice book jacket. A captivating story for young readers!
Great book, my 6 year old loved it.
My grandson loved it...he is 8 years old..took him awhile to read it ...finally has foundsomething he is interested in!
Loved this book . My kids and their friends read this several times. I have loaned it to the school. it is a class fav.
