Let Them Play

In the story the boys wanted to play baseball. They wanted to play against white ball players. Their parents wanted them to win the Little League World Series. The community wanted the boys to play in the World Series. A special team was formed to be the best team with black players. I couldn’t believe they wouldn’t let them play.

I would recommend this book to the President
because black people need to get more rights.

In the story the boys wanted to play baseball. Their parents wanted their boys to have nice uniforms. The community wanted them to play in ball games. A special team was formed of all the best black ball players. I couldn’t believe the boys never got to play a game.

I would recommend this book to lots of people because it doesn’t matter what you look like, black or white or brown, you should get to play ball.

In the story the boys went to the Little League World Series. They really wanted to play in the World Series.

Their parents wanted them to have all the right equipment. The community wanted them to play against white teams. A special team was formed of the best negro players to win the Little League World Series. I couldn’t believe that the crowd of fans wanted them to play.

I would recommend this book to my Dad because he’s a baseball fan.
