What People are Saying About This

Justin Morneau

Lucy Tries Baseball is a great book for kids. Sport teaches us life lessons, like how to battle through when things get tough. Lucy is a great example of what it looks like to persevere through different challenges. I hope you enjoy this book as much as my kids and I do!”

Dan Shulman

“I loved Lucy Tries Baseball! Makes me wish I was still coaching! Lisa does a wonderful job encouraging kids to try different sports, and with this one being about baseball, I’d have to say it’s my favourite. The more we can all do to help our kids be active, the better!”

Arash Madani

“This book captures so many of the elements that make sports great: they’re challenging, intimidating and ultimately rewarding for young children. Lucy's journey around the basepath is a reminder of how much we all need to be encouraging our youth to be active, to play and to be good teammates to one another. Lucy Tries Baseball, like our favourite hitter, is a home run!”

Adnan Virk

“As a father of four, I can’t encourage my kids enough to stay off their screens and get as much physical activity as possible. This book will be a great motivator for them and so many other kids to savor all the beautiful life lessons that baseball teaches us. Bonus points for the Fast Facts, including a great definition of a chopper!”

Chris Reitsma

“I really enjoyed Lucy Tries Baseball! Lisa identifies the struggle that children go through when trying something new and overcoming insecurities, while explaining some of the intricacies of the great game of baseball. Let's keep our kids active!”
