Step back in time to 1932, right in the middle of the Great Depression. When a resourceful young boy discovers that his father has lost his job, he knows he has to help his family survive. Teaming up with his best friend Jacob, he takes to the bustling city streets to work as a "newsie," selling newspapers for pennies. But selling papers is tough work until they get a little help from an unexpected hero: the legendary baseball player, Babe Ruth! With the Babe's larger-than-life presence drawing crowds, the boys' business begins to boom, leading to an unforgettable chance to see a real Yankees game. This beautifully illustrated picture book blends history, family devotion, and the magic of baseball into a heartwarming story about hope and hard work during difficult times.
