Books with author C. H. Robinson

Prince Marion has everything a young prince could want--except for a true best friend. Bo, a young orphan--hearing impaired, visually challenged, and dwelling alone in a ragged shack at the edge of a great forest--has the one gift that Marion needs most. But will the pampered prince dare to risk mocking bullies--and the possibility of the king and queen turning up their noses--in order to enjoy Bo's loyal friendship? And will Bo, in turn, ever realize his own greatest dream: to become a real prince? In this touching tale, P.J. Robinson brings to life an unlikely friendship, and honors an even more unlikely hero. Young readers will love reading about the true meaning of riches and of friendship, the value of dreams, and what it takes to be A True Prince!

Lou Gehrig, the New York Yankees great, is best known for having played in a record 2130 consecutive games -- and for having died at 37 of ALS, to which he gave his name -- Lou Gehrig's Disease. Gehrig was a case of the boy finding himself through sports. He had a remarkable talent for baseball, almost an intuition. He was a great competitor, never greater than in his final bout with illness. His death made him an immortal American hero. This story separates the man from the myth. "Sensitive and moving."
