Sam the 2nd Baseman Sticks with It

Sam the Second Baseman wants to quit the team. He's tired of early Saturday morning practices and long afternoons when he'd rather be watching TV. Plus, he's been struggling a lot in math and feels overwhelmed. The problem? A big game is coming up and the team needs his skills. One of his teammates volunteers to help him with his math homework, and when Sam accepts, he learns that being committed means sticking with it-to the end of the math problem or the end of the season-and that if he just asks for help, it will be there.Look for the other books in the Threads and Friends series, where kids learn valuable life lessons from the warm and engaging All-Stars team.
