The Boy of Steel

I very nice story that any baseball fan would like. A good story for teaching children about illness and how to deal with it.

The Boy of Steel: A Baseball Dream Come True

Sometimes it is a children's book that should be read by ALL young and old alike. Ray Negron's book is one of those books. A wonderful story with a great uplifting message for children AND adults. Moms and Dads should read this one to ALL the children and teachers should be encouraged to add it to their class curriculum. Just a great book---that does not come around too often. BUY this one!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!

Beautiful Story

If you want to bawl, this is the book to read. Written with alot of love and tenderness and history of the NY Yankees, by a guy who works in the Yankees front office. A++++

A Fine Inspirational Book.

A Great Book For Children Also For Adults. It Shows A Never Give Up Attitude In Life And That Some Dreams Can Come True. It Also Clearly Shows Beyond Any Doubt That The New York Yankees Are By Far The Greatest Sports Franchise Ever.

A Magical Story of Love and Hope

This is one of the most inspirational children's books I have ever read. The message is simple but powerful and an inspiration for all. It is part Pinocchio,part Pride of the Yankees, and it works. For anyone who has ever had a child go through any kind of serious illness, it is a wonderful reminder of how sometimes the smallest thing can suddenly reach out to that child and bring them back to you, and how you should never give up fighting. For those who have lost a child, it is a powerful lesson in love, hope and strength. For those whose lives have never been touched by serious childhood illness, it is a chance to reach out and hug your own kids and realize just how special each and every child is and how much they bless your life. It's all about believing, and the message comes through loud and clear. This book should be on every child's bookshelf, in every classroom and in every library. It is a story to read again and again. The illustrations are just perfect for the story, gentle and magical. Since the proceeds of this book go to charity, you are not only sharing the magic of The Boy of Steel with your own children, you are helping other children as well. Young or old, you will be touched by the inspirational story and the simple style of the author. It is a book I now proudly own, and my child, a survivor of serious childhood illness, is now 20. It is a wonderful reminder for me that I am one of the lucky ones -- truly blessed to have my son. He has read it, too. Read The Boy of Steel and share the message of love with others. It truly has touched my life.
