<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> This heartwarming picture book, written by the superstar's mother and sister, teaches that hard work and determination are much more important in becoming a champion. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>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.</b> <p/>Michael Jordan. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <i>Boston Herald</i> [A] slam-dunk effort. </br></br><i>Chicago</i> magazine An inspiring piece of Jordaniana. </br></br><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> Soul-satisfying. </br></br><i>Miami Herald</i> The power of myth-in-the-making. </br></br><i>The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</i> A picture-book winner. <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Deloris Jordan is Michael Jordan's mother and the coauthor of <i>Salt in His Shoes </i>and<i> Michael's Golden Rules</i>, illustrated by Kadir Nelson; <i>Did I Tell You I Love You Today?</i>, illustrated by Shane W.
