We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League BaseballNelson, Kadir. (2008) We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball. Jump at the Sun. ISBN-10: 0786808322.
A history of the Negro League Baseball League in 96 pages.
Great for baseball fans, those interested in the history of the American culture, and history in general.
Pair with the unabridged CD which includes the text (performed by Dion Graham) and the paintings by Kadir Nelson. Also includes an interview with Kadir Nelson.
Or simply include a new baseball for those young fans that will want to become the next stars of baseball.

What a great idea to package this book with a baseball for a gift! If anyone is interested, I have a Jackie Robinson coloring page and a Negro League Word Search at my post about "We Are the Ship." Maybe they could be part of the gift as well? Here's the link:
