As a boy, Kenichi “Zeni” Zenimura dreams of playing professional baseball, but everyone tells him he is too small. Yet he grows up to be a successful player, playing with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig!

This true story, set in a Japanese internment camp during World War II, introduces children to a little-discussed part of American history
