This is a picture book biography of Roberto Clemente, one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He faced racism all during his MLB career as an Afro-Latine man from Puerto Rico. This book concentrates on his life as a baseball player, rather than his death while flying to do humanitarian work. Gutierrz's illustrations are gorgeous and flowing, making Clemente's skills sing on the page.
Moderate: Racism
