Campy: The Story of Roy Campanella

32 pp. | Viking | March, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-670-06041-2 $15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gordon C. James. Campanella, whose father was Italian American and mother was African American, was a seminal figure in the integration of major-league baseball. This wordy but informative picture book biography gives readers a portrait of Campanella's personal life and baseball career, including becoming a coach after being injured in a terrible car accident. Stirring but muddy paintings illustrate the events. Reading list, timeline, websites.
