Books for Kids | Baseball legend also a caring dad | The Columbus Dispatch

One of the most courageous sports figures in American history stared racism in the face but had a secret fear: Jackie Robinson couldn't swim.

In the delightful picture book Testing the Ice (Scholastic, $16.99, ages 5 to 9), Sharon Robinson -- daughter of the baseball legend -- tells young readers the tale of the first player to integrate professional baseball as well as a family story that reflects her father's character.
