When she thinks she will be punished, her parents decide that Shirley and her parents should move to America. At her new school in America she has trouble making new friends until summer comes. She learns to play stickball and gets friends. She listens to the Brooklyn Dodgers play on the radio and follows superstar Jackie Robinson. After the Dodgers won the pennant, they ventured to the World Series. After a close game seven, Jackie Robinson comes to Shirley's school for a Christmas concert. Shirley is thrilled when she meets Jackie Robinson, the NL rookie of the year at the end of the season.]]> 2017-12-15 18:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/21hedlundl/JackieRobinson/wish/216583054 Vocabulary words 21hedlundl https://padlet.com/21hedlundl/JackieRobinson/wish/217802138 • ambassador- a person as the chief representative in a different country
