The Streak: How Joe Dimaggio Became America's Hero by Barb Rosenstock

3.0

Nice baseball picture book about Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak during 1941 season. Talks about how it was an example for the country of how to persevere against obstacles and to root together as a nation just as we entered World War II. Nice acrylic illustrations, stylized to have long arms and long legs, emphasizing the physical nature of the sport. Extensive bibliography and sources for quotes, and a more detailed version of the story is given in the author's notes.
