Barbara Gregorich, who writes fiction and nonfiction for adults and for children, has in her writing career deliberately moved from one genre to another, writing about the things important in life — baseball, mystery, and social justice. Her seminal Women at Play: The Story of Women in Baseball won the SABR-MacMillan Award and laid the groundwork for other books on the subject. For her research and writings on women in baseball, Barbara Gregorich received the 2024 SABR Dorothy Seymour Mills Lifetime Achievement Award.
A frequent presenter at Illinois libraries, Gregorich was appointed a 2013 Roads Scholar by the Illinois Arts Council. In 2021 City of Light published The F Words, whose story of ICE persecution of immigrants focuses on the resilience of working class teens. Exit Velocity features a young working class woman who encounters discrimination in the workplace and assault on the streets. As she fights for her rights, she is aided by a parrot from another planet.

Great starter book for those just starting to read. Read it to my grand daughter (4 yrs), and after reading it we flipped through different pages and she tried to read it, and did a very good job of it. Missed many words, but correctly pronounced most of the words and read most of the sentences correctly.
This is a perfect book for teaching a child to read! It uses easy, everyday words that are in a child's vocabulary already, with pictures that will keep a child's interest.
