✨Tell us about your book.
“More Than Just a Game is a picture book that celebrates the history of basketball from a Black perspective, revealing how it changed Black communities and how they made it into the sport it is today. When the sport was first invented, it wasn’t easy for Black people to play. They couldn’t enter segregated YMCAs or attend privileged colleges. So Black Americans made their own spaces, playing in dance halls before the dancing started and eventually forming teams all over the country called the Black Fives. More Than Just a Game rejoices in the cultural revolution of Black musical styles, the domination of unbeatable Black teams, and the Black communities that turned basketball into something joyful and social, a legacy that continues on today. The book also just received its first review––a star from Kirkus”
