Bookroo's summary
In a vibrant park, a shy boy watches from the sidelines, yearning to join the baseball game. Encouraged by a group of wise old timers, he steps out of his comfort zone. As he discovers the joy of playing, the elders realize they still have much to offer. Will the boy find his place on the field, and what lessons will the elders learn from him? This wordless tale beautifully captures the timeless bond between generations and the courage to embrace life's adventures.
From the publisher
A shy boy, seeking the courage to play baseball with the other children in a park, is coaxed out of his shell by some “old timers” sitting nearby who, in turn, discover they are still in the game.
