About the book
The beginning of Huey's journey.
A Boy and His Ball is the beginning of Huey's journey.
Huey is a young boy growing up where some days are good and others are very hard. He faces hunger, hand-me-downs, uncertainty, and moments that would be difficult for any child. But through it all, Huey keeps going.
Then he finds something that begins to change everything: a basketball.
The ball isn't new. It isn't fancy. But it's his.
At first, Huey isn't very good. He misses shots. He loses games. He gets frustrated. But every day, he gets a little better. The basketball court becomes more than a place to play. It becomes a place where his worries feel smaller and his dreams begin to feel possible.
A Boy and His Ball is a story about perseverance, hope, and discovering that where you start doesn't have to determine where you finish.
