In today’s paper, USA Today calls it a “book to bridge any generation gap.” Cheerful Givers is pleased to be included as a “fan and supporter” in this wonderful book along with Rawlings, Louisville Slugger and some great professional baseball players.
The book follows an underprivileged group of kids whose lack of equipment doesn’t hamper their love of baseball. This wonderfully illustrated, hard-cover book, which makes a great gift for kids of all ages, can be purchased for $15.95 at www.agloveoftheirown.com, and if you select Cheerful Givers (code CHG 132), a portion of the proceeds will help us to provide toy-filled birthday gift bags for less fortunate kids.
Here’s what one Grandfather had to say about the book :
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!
