He endured terrible racism, both from fans and his fellow teammates. Despite this, he became a unifying force on and off the field, and went on to become a seven-time All Star. Illustrated with Cannaday Chapman's bold, stylized illustrations, this exceptional biography tells the story of an unsung hero who not only opened doors for those behind him, but set amazing records during his Hall of Fame career. More significantly, it examines the long fight to overcome racism in sports and our culture at large, a fight that is far from over. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Audrey Vernick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1328482979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781328482976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 9.30w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e515275 \/ All Star: How Larry Doby Smashed the Color Barrier in Baseball\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Audrey Vernick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053784068351,"sku":"9781328482976","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9a2dd75-1e50-42ce-94ac-e0994e533f2d.jpg?v=1685026244","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/all-star-audrey-vernick-9781328482976","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
