A story about resilience

What Color is the Sky tells the story of how Josh’s father taught him to be strong and keep going on his journey to become a professional baseball player. Now in his ninth season in Major League Baseball, Josh uses the same lessons he learned from his father to teach his own children, and he hopes this story will help kids everywhere build inner strength and grow as readers.
This story is really important to me, and I hope it will be awesome for kids from all over... I came from a family of teachers. They all have their own books, and I’m proud to be an author.
