Testing the Ice


By Sharon Robinson
Illustrated by Kadir Nelson
The pictures in this book are phenomenal. I love non fiction books, and this one is a great one. It takes place at the end of Jackie Robinson's career. He always watches his children swim from the shore, and he never goes in the water. One day his children and their friends sit around and here stories about how brave he was when he first decided he would try and play for the Brooklyn Dodgers. The children decide to go outside to ice skate, Jackie bravely walks on the ice to make sure it is solid for them to skate. He shows how brave he is.
