NY Yankees Baseball on Deck

So, you’ve been staring out the window all winter. And now, finally, the Yankees are on deck to open their 2014 season on Tuesday!! Shovel those snowballs, get those dogs on the grill, time to play ball after an epic winter. New Yorkers love their Yankees and the Yanks love ‘em back. Play ball!

Baseball and Bullying

Babe’s best friend and teammate, Gonzalez, is being bullied, so Babe steps up to the plate (pun intended.) Oh, and yes, Babe’s mom named him after Babe Ruth. Catcher in the Sky is more than just a fabulous baseball read for middle-grade kids–it also tackles diversity and bullying. And it’s gotten great reviews, too (very grateful for that, thank you!) Bullying is such a heartbreaker for kids and it’s really important to reach the bystanders and friends of the kids who are being bullied to get them to help, not look away. It takes bravery but it’s cool to help, and so not cool to look the other way. It is my hope that Catcher in the Sky helps! http://www.amazon.com/Catcher-in-the-Sky-ebook/dp/B00AFKTTOShttp://www.amazon.com/Catcher-in-the-Sky-ebook/dp/B00AFKTTOSImage

 

NYC in the Fall

Really pumped for Andy Pettitte and the Yanks! Great season in NYC, playoffs, colorful leaves, crisp apples (dipped in caramel!) and Presidential and Vice Presidential debates this year. Love it up, New York!
