Roberto Clemente: Pride of the Pittsburgh Pirates

40 pp. | Atheneum/Schwartz | March, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-689-85643-1 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Raul Colon. This attractive picture book chronicles the life and career of Latino baseball star Roberto Clemente, from his childhood in Puerto Rico to his tragic death in a plane crash. The impressionistic account conveys both his professional struggles and successes and his personal attributes; appropriately, the illustrations include both emotion-laden watercolor portraits and black-and-white action shots.
