“It brought me back to my sandlot days and really makes me reflect on my childhood playing ball with my friends. I instantly knew there was something special about this book and Bob’s passion about it’s message. Being part of the game for over 20 years,baseball's impact on my own life is immeasurable so the opportunity to support an initiative that gives back to my beloved sport was something I knew I couldn’t pass up,” This book is a must read for all children and adults-what a story!!!

To the Staff of "A Glove of Their Own": I am a 61 year old male who recently purchased your book. I plan to give it as a gift to my son with the design that he will share it with our grandson to advance a message of what the game has to offer all of us: it's history, structure, purpose, culture, significance, and more importantly what can be learned from it.
I began reading the book in the store where I purchased it and began to get somewhat emotional as it
"flashed" me back to my youth, and how I spent many a day playing with friends and rivals the game that has meant so much to me in my lifetime. As a result, I have tried to communicate the game and it's merits to my son over the years, and this book has in a strong way rekindled the significance of what I did, and enjoyed as a youth, and what I am encouraging my son to "pass on" to another generation. This book, the short read that it is, has to be one of the most moving pieces of literature about the game, creatively crafted so that anyone who knows anything about the game can understand just a little better that it truly is a "kids game", but also delivers a companion message that can be understood and practiced by everyone.
Congratulations on a great piece of work!

Hi "A GLOVE OF THEIR OWN" Team,
What a book!
Debbie Moldovan, Keri Conkling, and Lisa Funari-Willever, you have crafted a story embracing the magic of baseball that is sheer “poetry,” and matched only by Lauren Lambiase’s eye-appealing illustrations. The majesty of our National Pastime is woven into the very fabric of your storyline. And it is that heart-warming storyline which ensures “A Glove of Their Own” will be destined as an American classic! For that reason I initially purchased it. The images of sandlot baseball, so reminiscent of my own childhood, speak in today’s terms, but with the haunting, underlying beauty of a simpler past. Yet, the book’s message of helping others is timeless, and so it is a perspective of character I want to pass on to my own children and grandchildren: That they may be better individuals, with a more profound understanding and love of life… and the game of baseball. Thank you all, Debbie, Keri, Lisa, Lauren, and Bob Salomon, for your efforts in making this book a reality, that others like me and my family might have years of ensuing enjoyment! Best regards, Rick Young Co-author, “Aiden’s Cauldron Trilogy” |
