The Snowman on the Pitcher's Mound

Snowman on the Pitcher's Mound by Jamie Reno

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A wonderful book that not only helps young people understand the death of a loved one, but reminds readers of all ages of the need for love and understanding we all require. This is a book for parents and kids. Not only is the story entertaining, but it is funny and poignant at the same time.
