Dream Big: Michael Jordan and the Pursuit of Excellence by Deloris Jordan –ADVISABLE


Jordan, Deloris Dream Big: Michael Jordan and the Pursuit of Excellence 32 pgs. Simon & Schuster/Paula Wiseman Books, 2014 (Reprint). $7.99 Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G Violence: G. BIOGRAPHY/PICTURE BOOK
Written by Michael Jordan’s mom, this book provides insight on how early Michael was dreaming big, but it too a little work to get him to do his homework and turn his dreams into reality through hard work.
This is a lovely book about how dreams are great but hard work is the key. This book has large pages with bright and well crafted illustrations as well simple enough text to share with even Kindergartners. My only worry is that students may be more familiar with current popular basketball players and not connect as well with the story.
