You know Sharon Robinson as the daughter of baseball legend Jackie Robinson.  She is also the author of several widely praised nonfiction books for children about her father, and is an educational consultant for MLB.

Child of the Dream: A Memoir of 1963  is her just-published story of how one girl finds her voice in the fight for justice and equality. Sharon Robinson, aged 13 that year, shares her experiences with young readers, who will also recognize the struggle in today’s current events. 

"A lovingly honest memoir of a racial-and social activist-past that really hasn't passed." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Sharon Robinson has pulled off an impressive trifecta: She has given us priceless, behind-the-scenes access to perhaps the most tumultuous year in modern American history; she has written atouching, compelling coming-of-age story; and she tops the whole enterprise off with a tribute to her upbringing by an exceptional pair of African Americans, her parents, Rachel and Jackie Robinson.” —Christopher Paul Curtis, Newbery Medal-winning author.
