Publisher's Synopsis
When my son Nick was 5 years old, he was the oddball among his friends. It was my fault. I did the same thing to him that my father did to me. I taught Nick all about baseball. I wondered what made Nick, the all American kid, so different from his friends. And then I saw the problem - the world has changed since I was allowed to go off to the playground alone, and some of today's parents often don't have enough time to get outside and play ball with their kids. Nick and I could help return the thrill, the joy, and the team experience of baseball to American youth. It all starts with a bedtime story. Nick's Very First Day of Baseball is aimed at 3 to 5 year olds. Parents who don't know much about baseball can stay ahead of the curve as they read to their kids. Parents who already love the game will have the chance to share their own baseball stories. It's the kind of bonding that families will remember forever. I'm Kevin Christofora, and Nick's Very First Day of Baseball is based on my own life experiences as a dad, and as a NY State certified Double Goal Little League coach in Woodstock, NY. My teams have already met three Legends of the game - Yogi Berra, Tommy John, and Rollie Fingers - men who not only share my vision to preserve the legacy of baseball, but who have gone the extra mile to help get these girls and boys out of the house and onto the ball field. All I need now is an agent who wants to join our team.
