In this colorful volume, illustrated by elementary school students from the Chicagoland area, veteran All-Star pitcher for the Chicago Cubs Kerry Wood shares the valuable principles he’s learned throughout life.

Met Kerry Wood and talked with him many times at Spring Training in Arizona. The book reflects the type of guy he really is and you can't go wrong with this book. Super book for youngsters. Goes well in my baseball collection too. This was a very smooth transaction. A great buy and a top-notch seller. A+++++++++++++++++
