"[V]isually stunning... This book is a wonderful example of the vibrancy of urban life and the importance of community and family." -- The Reading Teacher, International Reading Association (IRA) "In this uniquely designed picture book, 10-year-old James finally gets to play basketball with his older brother's friends and proves he can hold his own. Basketball terminology abounds ('glides down the lane, flips a finger roll') and should delight children who also yearn for the day when they will have the self-confidence to play with an older crowd." -- School Library Journal "It's an engrossing... debut for Jean-Bart" -- Kirkus Reviews Notable Books for a Global Society, International Reading Association (IRA) Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Marion Vannett Ridgway Award Honoree, Marion Vannett Ridgway Award Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People, National Council for the Social Studies/ Children's Book Council Original Art Show, Society of Illustrators, "[V]isually stunning. . .

It's a metaphor for life in the larger world, of course, but it's also an intense, image-rich world of its own. Author Coy and illustrator Jean-Bart capture that intensity in this well-realized picture book for older readers... Coy's text moves with all the free-wheeling speed of playground ball, and the first-person narration captures James' fear as well as his determination. Best of all, though, are Jean-Bart's collage-style illustrations, produced by combining Polaroid photographs and scratchboard drawings. The result melds the realism of the players' photos with the flat but evocative symbolism of the scratchboard settings (as if three-dimensional figures appeared on cave paintings). Real-life kids competing on a mythic playing field-that's the message here, but you don't need to understand it in those terms to feel its allure." -- Booklist Notable Books for a Global Society, International Reading Association (IRA) Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Marion Vannett Ridgway Award Honoree Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People, National Council for the Social Studies/ Children's Book Council Original Art Show, Society of Illustrators, "[V]isually stunning. . .

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!
