Andy and the Tri-Cornered Baseball Game

Coming March 16, 2027. Pre-order today!

By: Nathalie Alonso / Illustrated by: Julissa Mora

How can three teams play against each other at once?

Andy loves baseball and is a big fan of PeeWee Reese. But his favorite part of going to games is getting to spend time with Papi and Abuelo. When World War II starts, everything changes. Papi goes to war, and so does PeeWee; and now Andy’s mom works long days, while Andy spends his days with Abuelo instead.

Then the Dodgers, the Giants, and the Yankees announce that they will play in the same game! Andy wants to go, but the cost to attend is a war bond, and Andy doesn’t have enough stamps to buy one. Andy has to make a choice: Will he sell his most prized possession, a baseball signed by PeeWee himself? Will the war bond help Papi and PeeWee come home sooner? Is it okay to feel a little bit of joy when Papi is away at war?

Back matter includes information on the Tri-Cornered Baseball Game of 1944, segregation in baseball, and Latine contributions to World War II.

Maximum quantity available reached.

A two-page children's book spread with illustrated scenes: one page shows Pee Wee Reese signing a kid's ball at a baseball game, and the other page shows a family sitting around a table at night.
