Description
Inspired by real events in 1948, the story describes eight-year-old Stephen Satlow's life in Brooklyn, New York, and his obsession with the Dodgers baseball team. When Stephen's all-Jewish neighbors protest the arrival of an African American family to their neighborhood, Stephen decides to befriend the new neighbor who turns out to be Jackie Robinson himself. The friendship that develops teaches Stephen many lessons and binds the Christian and Jewish families together for life.
