“…more than a picture book; it’s the amazing true story of how baseballs are made… Told [by] a cheerful, animated baseball, Life’s a Ball with Billy the Baseball follows the perky Billy from his creation in a small round cork factory to his life in the major leagues… Cheery, colorful illustrations pepper this delightful picture book…”                                      —James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review

This is the story of a baseball, and his dream of playing in the major leagues. It’s also a true story of how baseballs are made, what they’re made of, how many stitches are used, how much they weigh, and so on—in short, everything a young baseball fan likes to know. Billy began as a small round cork in a factory far away from where he lives today. Life was just a ball until one very special day.
