Picture books are great fun for all ages and the Rippey Library has a new one for sports fans younger and older, Dream Big: Michael Jordan and the Pursuit of Excellence by Deloris Jordan, Michael’s mother. His mother told him “Dreaming is good, but dreaming is for dreamers. If you want something, it’s doing that gets it done.” As a young boy, Michael wanted to play basketball more than watching TV. The story follows him from grade school to his days on the U. S. Olympic team. Deloris concludes the book , “Michael’s dream came true. So dream big and work hard and your dream might come true, too!”
