Bigger Books Synopsis
A heartwarming story of an unforgettable day, and a father's love
Each weekend Audie rises at dawn to help out on his family's farm.
Afterward he carefully saves the quarter he has earned, dreaming that he
might eventually have enough to buy a baseball glove. Papa has promised
him that someday they will see a real live game. But there always seems
to be "too much work and too little money". But Papa does keep his
promise. In need of work boots, he announces that the two of them will
go into town to buy a new pair and, best of all, see the Reds play
baseball! Audie stuffs his entire savings into his pocket, hoping to
finally buy the glove he's worked so hard for. Yet the day takes an
unexpected turn. Instead of the thrill of the game, it is a special gift
from father to son that comes to mean the most to Audie, and makes this
day one he will never forget. |
