About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is nervous about their first team practice or constantly asking questions about how a baseball game actually works. It serves as a gentle, informative bridge between the excitement of watching a sport and the practical reality of playing it. Through the story of Nick and his championship game, the book introduces essential terminology, gear, and field positions without feeling like a dry manual. It captures the sense of accomplishment and camaraderie that comes with being part of a team. For ages 4 to 8, it provides a confidence-boosting foundation for young athletes or curious spectators, making the diamond feel like a welcoming place rather than a confusing one.
