Good Book for kids,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Josh Hamilton (Amazing Athletes) (Paperback)
i bought this book for my kids because Hamilton's other book is a little more graphic about his drug habit than I thought they needed. This book covers that and discusses it without being too grown up for them. I wanted for them to know his story and his hard work since they are such huge fans, but decided to keep to a little less detailed story for now.
