What is The Story of Jackie Robinson: Bravest Man in Baseball (Dell Yearling Biography) about?

<p>Today many children dream of playing professional&nbsp;&nbsp;baseball. Perhaps you are one of them. If you have&nbsp;&nbsp;good athletic skills and you work hard, your dream&nbsp;&nbsp;may be realized. But this wasn't always true for&nbsp;&nbsp;athletes in the first part of this century. More&nbsp;&nbsp;was required. A player had to be white. Black&nbsp;&nbsp;players—no matter how well they could hit, catch, or&nbsp;&nbsp;throw—were not signed up by the major&nbsp;&nbsp;leagues.</p> <p>One brave black player named Jackie Robinson&nbsp;&nbsp;worked to change the "rules," so that&nbsp;&nbsp;all races could have the opportunity to fulfill&nbsp;&nbsp;their dreams on the baseball diamond—or anywhere.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is Jackie Robinson's story.</p> <p>Examines the life of the talented black athlete who broke the color barrier in major league baseball by joining the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. </p>
