I read this book with my child study last week because he said that he was really into basketball. I would totally recommend it to not only basketball lovers but anyone and everyone. It was a very good book. It was very motivational and inspirational. My child study loved it! He was predicting and using evidence like it was his job. It was the true story of Michael Jordan's life and pursuing his basketball dream when he was a young boy. His mom and his sister wrote it. I hadn't heard anything about it until last week when one of my teachers recommended it to me to read. I would definitely recommend it, so far it's been one of my favorite books that I have read this semester. I don't know much about Michael Jordan's life but the illustrations in the book look like he lived in a very nice house and had a very good family life. There are illustrations of him eating dinner with all his brothers and sisters and parents, which doesn't seem like it happens very much anymore. It just seemed kind of unreal to me, especially with all the people in his family. There was also no white people or anything other race in the book besides, African American, which I thought was kind of strange too, considering there were many kids playing on the basketball court. None the less, I loved the book. It was full of emotion and it was cool to learn how Michael Jordan became Michael Jordan and to think that he wasn't always an awesome basketball player. I enjoy reading true stories written for kids because from my experience, they have a lot to say and relate to.
