This book is about a 274 pound ,six feet five NFL football player name Justin Tuck who plays for the New York Giants. When people ask him how he got so tough, he would say "You'd be tough too, if you grew up with five sisters. Justin tells the story about the day his sisters gave him a haircut, you can imagine how this turned out. Even though they gave him a reverse mohawk he knew they loved him and he loved them and that's what family is about. It also helped as he got older it got harder to push him around, but maybe someday he will let them reverse the mohawk.
I love this book because it is Afro-centric and it shows how family bond and it is very funny. My kids are 9 and 12 they love it we read it every night. Whenever you read it to your pre-school children make sure you tell them scissors are only for paper not hair. This book is great for all ages!

Hi Angela,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, it does take a "village to raise a child." I also collect children's books, and do not have a copy of Homefield Advantage. I will have to get a copy then next time I buy some books!
