Product Description
Young Michael Steel loves to watch the New York Yankees on TV—from his hospital bed. Michael has brain cancer. But when Yankee second baseman Robinson Cano visits Michael in the hospital, Michael embarks on an unexpected and wonderful journey when he becomes a Yankee batboy for a day. It's his baseball dream come true! When Michael's illness makes him weak on the field, can he be strong enough to fulfill his batboy duties and make his new teammates proud? With a little help from Yankee greats Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Roger Maris, and Mickey Mantle, Michael Steel earns his nickname "The Boy of Steel" and learns a very important lesson: Never stop fighting! Laura Seeley's vibrant, action-packed illustrations illuminate Ray Negron's touching and triumphant story, and children and parents alike will root for Michael as they learn about baseball, cancer, and a life lesson we all need to know. With a foreword by Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos, The Boy of Steel will be a hit with your little baseball fan.

This book is very special to me since it is based on the life of my nephew. The book displays the courage of a little boy. Lives can be changed after reading this book. We are never too old or young to learn that we are put here for a purpose and we should make the most of every day we are given and work through any adversities that are put in our life's path.

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!!
