Meet Roxy Rogers, a young girl with a family full of hall of
fame baseball players. While Roxy might have been born to play ball, her dream
is to sing. She wants to do something different but she doesn’t know how to
tell her family. She is afraid they won’t understand. Her destiny is not
baseball.
The author has created a wonderful story that speaks about following your
passions in life. Roxy Rogers has the courage to not follow in the footsteps of
her parents or grandparents in the world of baseball but rather go into the
entertainment business as a famous songstress.
The illustrator created whimsical and colorful illustrations that bring the story to
life. As Roxy believes in her dreams, the colors transform on the pages and get
brighter and bolder. They enhance her dream to sing and show her passion for
song, not baseball.
The author has included some great historical baseball facts
at the end of the story along with a game of hidden clues to keep kids going
back to read the story over and over again!
Roxy Rogers is a fabulous 5
star book recommended for ages 4-8. The author makes the message loud and
clear, it is important to do what makes you happy in life! Kudos to the author
for creating a wonderful storybook for children.
