| Publisher Description: New York Times bestselling team Deloris and Roslyn M. Jordan, Michael Jordan's mother and sister, are back with this inspiring picture book about playing a good game, win or lose--featuring an introduction from Michael Jordan! Jonathan loves playing with his friend Michael on the Badgers baseball team, but being a Badger isn't always easy. Lately, his team has been striking out again and again, and Jonathan wants a win more than anything. But Michael's Uncle Jack tells the boys that there is a lot more to playing a good game than winning or losing like trying your best, being a team player, and having fun. Once Jonathan starts playing by Jack's golden rules of baseball, his confidence returns, and win or lose, he feels like a winner. |
