Join one little boy and his family for two ballgames--on opposite sides of the world!

Come along with one little boy and his grandfathers, one in America and one in Japan, as he learns about baseball and its rich, varying cultural traditions. This debut picture book from Aaron Meshon is a home run--don't be surprised if the vivid illustrations and energetic text leave you shouting, "LET'S PLAY YAKYU!"
