An inspirational hockey story about believing in yourself and trying your best from the team that created The Bambino and Me.

A heart-warming, intergenerational story about an awkward young boy who finds his hockey chutzpah at a PeeWee tournament. Tommy goes from timid observer to essential player - as we readers cheer him on! Illustrated by Zachary Pullen whose inimitable style blends perfectly with Zachary Hyman's inspiring text.

Praise for Hockey Hero

PRAISE FOR The Bambino and Me by Zachary Hyman, illus. by Zachary Pullen:
"The tale is entirely fictional, but it manages to capture the essence of that extraordinary time and the larger-than-life persona that was Babe Ruth. Hyman invests George's voice with boyish enthusiasm and conversational language filled with contemporary syntax. Pullen's oddly proportioned, compelling illustrations...are in perfect tandem with the nostalgic spirit of the text and wonderfully depict every aspect of the characters' emotions ... Lively, fun-filled and altogether delightful." - Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews

"Mixing just the right amount of nostalgia, pitch-perfect storytelling, and baseball fantasy, Pullen and Hyman have crafted a winning tale for readers, young and old--even Red Sox fans will find it irresistible." - School Library Journal
