Oh, and of course baseball! More than all that though I was happy to see my son following a story and becoming invested in the characters and excited about what we would read each night. I am so grateful for the lessen that it had, we were able to talk about friendship, being a team, love, loyalty, and family as well as difficult things like losing a loved one. We started reading that night, it took us a little less than 3 months to finish it. I could not have picked a better book for him! We went to Costco hoping to find something that would be interesting to him and the author Bruce Newbold was there, we talked to him about the book and my son thought it was great to have a special note written just for him in the book. We have worked hard with him but when pushed too hard he just shuts down so I was looking for something that I could read to him that was, to him, the dreaded "chapter book", I wanted to teach how fun reading could be and my hope was that he would enjoy books even though reading was hard. I have a 6 year old that because of a hearing loss first struggled with speech and now in 1st grade is struggling with reading.
