Basketball Heroes Making a Difference
These consistent titles begin with details of game-winning moments and continue on to introduce the athletes’ childhoods, challenges overcome, and their successful NBA careers. The entries each conclude with the subject’s charitable work, such as the Wade’s World Foundation, dedicated to helping “kids who are growing up in difficult situations.” The attractive, clean book design complements the focused texts.
Basketball Heroes Making a Difference
Even as it celebrates the on-court success of these NBA superstars, this series places equal weight on their charitable works. Each slim volume follows a star from his youth, including the role family played in his life, to the present, with a generous helping of full-page color photographs. The bibliographies contain articles from major publications, and Sandler enlivens the text with quotations… young basketball fans will surely enjoy the photographs and stats about the game.
