A review by compass_rose
In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson by Bette Bao Lord

5.0

Read aloud with 13yo and 10yo and we all loved it, even the kid who isn't in love with baseball. A springboard for many discussions on immigration, Chinese culture, baseball, racism, self-worth, 1940s Brooklyn, etc. A well told tale, with humor, grit and sympathy.
