About this title

Synopsis

This baseball book for kids reveals an important lesson about making good choices. Alongside Minnesota Twins hall-of-famer Joe Mauer, young readers will discover the kindness that powers any path to stardom.

Joe is a sports nut! He loves all sports, but baseball most of all.

When Joe accidentally hits a baseball through his neighbor's window, he learns a valuable lesson: While sports are important, choosing kindness is always the right thing to do.

In this Minnesota Twins book for kids, follow a young Joe Mauer as he grows from a child athlete to a high-school superstar and eventually becomes one of the best-ever Major League Baseball players.

Along the way, discover . . .

● Valuable lessons about making good choices, choosing kindness, and telling the truth,

● Heartwarming examples of healthy friendships,

● Uplifting messages about following your dreams, and

● The real-life journey of Joe Mauer to MLB fame.

Perfect for fans of Stephen Curry's I Have a Superpower, Joe Schmit and Joe Mauer's charitable children's debut is the ideal MLB book to entertain baseball-obsessed youngsters in the offseason.

All proceeds benefit Thumbs Up and Highland Friendship Club, Minnesota nonprofit organizations on a mission to provide mental health support, community connection, and friendship.

Joe Mauer

Joe Mauer is a Minnesota sports icon. Born and raised in St. Paul, Mauer was the number-one pick in the amateur baseball draft chosen by the hometown Minnesota Twins in 2001. After a stellar fifteen-year career, the Twins retired his number and inducted him into the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame. He is a six-time All-Star, three-time batting champion, three-time winner of the Golden Glove Award, and the 2019 American League MVP.

In his collaborative, debut children's book, Joe Mauer partnered with Thumbs Up and Highland Friendship Club, donating all of the story's profits to support the nonprofit organizations and their missions. He continues to be a community leader and embodies the message in "The Right Thing to Do." To learn more about the book's mission and impact, visit JoeMauerBook.
