GENRE: NF, Biography
WORDS: 960
Query:
Dear Mindy,
Did you know that a seventeen-year old girl struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in the same inning? Not many people do! When I began researching Jackie Mitchell, I was fascinated by her amazing feat. Her story is inspiring because it shows that gender should not put a limit on the dreams or accomplishments of female athletes.
I am submitting the 960 word picture book She Threw Like a Girl: The Jackie Mitchell Story. This biographical picture book for ages 8-12 shows how young Jackie spent her early years on the ball field and gives a play-by-play of the exciting moment when she faced the legendary baseball duo and struck them both out.
I am a member of the SCBWI and a reading specialist teacher. I have stories published in Clubhouse, Jr. and Stories for Children and Spider magazine.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
