The Stone Thrower by Jael Ealey Richardson

4.0

This was especially interesting book to me because for whatever reason, I didn't realize there was a Canadian football league until my most recent trip to Canada. I found myself in a restaurant with a game on and I couldn't place the teams though it looked like an NFL game.

Here is a story of a fabulous football player who is excluded from quarterbacking in the NFL simply by the color of his skin. It's told by the daughter of the quarterback Chuck Ealey.

This is a piece of history that I think will definitely interest my students. The issue of racism is one that needs to be seen from many different angles.

I'm also always happy to find good picture books about sports.
