Thanks to a geneous donation by Jim Rooker, we have a set of 3 autographed children's baseball-themed children's book to give away in a one-day giveaway, today only.
Former
Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitcher and broadcaster Jim Rooker has written a
series of baseball-themed children’s books and the first three –
entitled “Paul The Baseball,” “Matt The Bat” and “Kitt The Mitt” — are
now available.
The rhyming stories tell tales of baseball and friendship from the point of view of each of the three characters.
Rooker,
who also pitched for the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals during
his major league career, describes the stories as a very easy read and
very parent friendly and grandparent friendly.
From Jim Rooker's website:
Baseball has been my passion since the time I started playing the game
as a child and it remains that way today, sixty some years later. I
hope that the words contained in these books will encourage youngsters
everywhere to love the game as I did.
Writing children's books
was something I never thought about until 2008 when I was inspired by
my seven grandchildren. My goal was to leave an imprint on their lives
and simply make them happy.
Through that inspiration, I came up
with the stories of "Paul The Baseball," "Matt The Bat," and "Kitt The
Mitt." I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
