Preface: This will be one of four of five books I read to my grandchildren, if or when I’m blessed with them. Read to me when I was very little, its message (still with me) is that persistence matters more than popularity and that everyone on the team has a role.
A favorite quote:
"They save their biggest waves for the little red caboose - because he saved the train."
