A Boy and His BallThe Huey Series

Every Dream
Starts Somewhere.

The beginning of Huey's journey. A young boy, a worn basketball, and a dream bigger than where he started.

Front cover of A Boy and His Ball by William Randolph — Huey holding a worn basketball on a city street, with the tagline “Dreams don’t come easy. But they do come.”
Interior spread: Huey stands on a city court holding a worn basketball close to his chest beside the words “The ball wasn’t new. It wasn’t fancy. But it was his.”

Meet Huey

A boy who kept going.

Huey grows up facing hard circumstances. He keeps going anyway. He finds basketball, he works at it, he gets better — and he starts to dream past the court he began on. It is a story about perseverance, hope, and giving back.

Where you start doesn't have to determine where you finish.
