Our Game

by Alice Rhea Mitchell

When four-year-old Stan of Our Game by Alice Rhea Mitchell explores a storeroom of sports equipment, he hears his dad calling him until he gathers his gear and his dad’s first glove to focus on baseball, ready to play. Our Game, a 220-word poem of rhyming couplets for ages 3-7, celebrates the intergenerational bond that baseball provides. Little boys, their fathers, and their fans will delight in this simple saga of time together for a father and his son. Delightful, detailed paintings by artist Sheryl K. Perry depict the text.
