| Publisher Description: Kenyon loves his grandmother's stories almost as much as he loves baseball. Kenyon loves his grandmother's stories almost as much as he loves baseball. He would like Little Dolly to choose him as the next Keeper of the family's stories, and is disappointed when she tells him that only girls can hold that honor. As Little Dolly's 90th birthday approaches, Kenyon sets out to buy her a gift. But he is unable to resist the urge to buy a brand new baseball glove for himself, and soon regret is heavy in his heart. How can he blame Little Dolly for not trusting him with her stories when he can't even be trusted with his own money? Kenyon's father tells him that when you make a mistake, you can't go back - you can only go forward. And just when Kenyon thinks he's run out of ideas for Little Dolly's gift, inspiration hits him like a home run. |
