Roberto Clemente: Pride of the Pittsburgh Pirates
Written by Jonah Winter • Illustrated by Raúl Colón • Atheneum
Explore the life of the first Latino to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Winter takes the reader from Clemente’s childhood in Puerto Rico to his fame in the Major Leagues as he led the Pittsburgh Pirates to two World Series. But perhaps most importantly, Winter highlights Clemente’s philanthropic side, and how helping people mattered more to him than baseball. A beautifully illustrated book that any child will love. For children ages 4 and up.
