Charlie has always watched his big brother Nick play baseball like it's the easiest thing in the world. Now it's finally Charlie's turn to step up to the plate.
But when the first real pitch comes in fast, Charlie jumps back. His heart pounds. His face burns. Baseball was supposed to be fun, so why is he so scared?
With a little patience from Coach Skip, a lot of practice, and a brother cheering him on, Charlie learns that courage isn't about never being afraid. It's about stepping back up to the plate anyway.
A warm, gentle picture book about facing fear and finding bravery, Charlie's First Baseball Game is perfect for young readers, new players, and anyone who has ever felt nervous about trying something for the first time.
Every first time takes courage.
