Henry Aaron’s Dream by Matt Tavares
by Tahira
Henry Aaron wanted nothing more than to be a major league baseball player. He was told not to get his hopes up since there were no negro ball players at that time. Not having a bat, a ball or racism were going to stop him from achieving his dream. When Jackie Robinson became the first ball player in the big leagues, Henry Aaron knew he would one day play for them too. Matt Tavares tells the story of Henry “Hank” Aaron in clear concise language. Tavares's illustrations capture the triumph of Henry Aaran’s achievements.
