Description

Michael Jordan’s mother and sister team up for this heartwarming and inspirational picture book about faith and hope and how any family working together can help a child make his or her dreams come true. Michael Jordan. The mere mention of the name conjures up visions of basketball played at its absolute best. But as a child, Michael almost gave up on his hoop dreams, all because he feared he’d never grow tall enough to play the game that would one day make him famous. That’s when his mother and father stepped in and shared the invaluable lesson of what really goes into the making of a champion—patience, determination, and hard work. Read more

  • what is the true essence of greatness
this book is an excellent book for kids. it adds a certain amount of mystery and wonder and"what if", to the book which I think is a way to gives kids a boost, intellectually which should not be underestimated. after all we want to excite our children's imagination. It is a book worth reading

  • Got this as a Gift to Teacher
When I was way younger, my teacher Trisha Wynn read this book to me and other students. It was a very good book about the youth of a famous basketball icon. I asked Trisha to read it over and over again. She later moved away, and I didn’t see her for many years before I sent this to her as a Christmas gift last year. She was pleased and humbled. I love this book like she does. I’d recommend this to anyone. ... show more

  • Michael Jordan's Mom and Sister Wrote This Book!
Wonderful story about Michael Jordan and his family. Easy to read and heartfelt as the story explains what may happen if you believe in yourself and are willing to work hard. AND, this book is written by two women who know Michael Jordan very well, his beloved mom and sister. The perspective and interest changes dramatically as I read to children Salt in His Shoes and end the story by pointing out who wrote the book. I have read this story to several groups of children and it does not surprise me when I am requested to read it a second time immediately after the first time. The illustrations compliment the words. The facial expressions, hand, and leg muscles, body movement, and much detail all add to the story. A great read with a great message. ... show more

  • Great book for Read Aloud!
Purchased this book as a Read Aloud for my 5th Grade class during Black History Month. We were doing "Classroom Book A Day" in which the teacher reads aloud a picture book to the class every day of school During Black History Month, I chose books that featured Black characters, both historical/real and fiction. The kids loved learning about Michael Jordan's life as he persevered to achieve the highest honors of basketball! Beautiful illustrations also! ... show more
