Barbed Wire Baseball, by Marissa Moss
A true story set in a Japanese-American internment camp in World War II. As a young boy, Kenichi "Zeni" Zenimura (1900-1968) wanted to be a baseball player, even though everyone told him he was too small. He grew up to become a successful athlete, playing with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. But when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, Zeni and his family were sent to one of several internment camps established in the U.S. for people of Japanese ancestry. Zeni brought the game of baseball to the camp, along with a sense of hope, and became known as the “Father of Japanese-American Baseball.”

Fauja Singh Keeps Going, by Simran Jeet Singh
Every step forward is a victory. Fauja Singh (1911--) was born determined. He was also born with legs that wouldn’t allow him to play cricket with his friends or carry him to school miles from his village in Punjab. But that didn’t stop him. Working on his family’s farm, Fauja grew stronger to meet his own full potential. He never stopped striving. At the age of 81, after a lifetime of making his body, mind, and heart stronger, Fauja decided to run his first marathon. He went on to break records all around the world and became the first person over 100 to complete the grueling long-distance race. This true story reminds us that it’s both where we start and how we finish that make our journeys unforgettable.
