Just in time for Black History Month, Honor Steps Up to the Plate invites young readers on a powerful journey into the world of Negro Leagues Baseball. When Honor spends a day in the attic with her Grandpa, she discovers legendary players, untold stories, and the courage of trailblazers who changed the game forever.
Through this warm, intergenerational adventure, children learn not only important history, but also timeless lessons in resilience, confidence, and faith — reminding every child that with determination and belief in themselves, they can achieve anything they set their mind to.



















About the Author and Contributor
This book is a true collaboration, created by Honor’s grandparents and rooted in literacy, legacy, and the legends of the game. KC brings her lifelong passion for writing and storytelling, crafting narratives that uplift and empower children. Walter, new to the literary world, contributes his deep love for baseball, his decades of collecting Negro Leagues memorabilia, and his commitment to preserving the history of the players who paved the way. Together, they blend their talents to bring Honor’s attic adventure to life — a story that celebrates Black history, family connection, and the belief that every child can rise with resilience, confidence, and faith.
