Thing Lenny Loves Most about Baseball

Ryan LaFerney

As someone who loves baseball and is a bit of a perfectionist, this book really spoke to me. In this endearing picture book, bestselling author Andrew Larsen celebrates the love of both the game of baseball and its countless facts --- which for many fans go hand in hand. It offers a strong character-building portrait of perseverance and patience at work in skill development. It also underscores the importance of letting go of the idea of perfection. It's also a great book about father and son bonding.

Lenny and his dad bond over baseball but when Lenny misses a catch in a crucial game, he starts to have doubts that he'll ever be good enough to follow his dreams in pursuing his big dreams of baseball stardom. But with a little bit of perseverance and patience, he quickly becomes better at the game and realizes that even the greats weren't perfect all of the time - in fact, Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron spent most of their time striking out, and that what makes their incredible stats that much more astounding.
