Praise
★ “There are plenty of books about basketball and some good ones about women’s ‘firsts.’ This one, though, does a particularly great job of putting the two themes together . . . The sprightly text gives the game’s details, but it is Collins’ fabulous, in-your-face paintings that bring the palpable excitement home. . . . The author’s note and time line add depth to a book that’s both fun and informative.”—Booklist (starred review)
“This excellent book offers plenty of teaching possibilities, and it should delight a wide audience.”—School Library Journal
“In this rousing picture book, Macy and Collins take readers to the (very) early days of women’s basketball through the eyes of Agnes Morley . . . her determination shines through in Collins’s dynamic, painterly digital spreads.”—Publishers Weekly
