Players in Pigtails by Shana Corey
3.0

An interesting, empowering and oddly specific read.

This picture book tells the story of Katie Casey, a fictional character from a classic American song, and the fight for women to play professional baseball in America during the time of WWI.

The story is rhythmic and engaging, with baseball songs at the beginning and end, and a great moral message that is well written and well explained: female empowerment at a perfectly age appropriate level of understanding.
