Babe Ruth (History's All Stars)
This series is all about famous men and women when they were kids. But it’s not dry, dusty history. Instead, the facts are mixed with fictionalized details and conversations that help to bring the time, the place, and the person to life in a fun and entertaining way.
You will grow to love the men and women who have shaped history. And you’ll see that each of our History’s All Stars started out just like you: a kid.
A narrative portrait of the iconic Baseball Hall of Fame inductee's childhood imagines his years spent in an orphanage and reformatory, his introduction to baseball by monks, and the influences that shaped his subsequent athletic achievements.
