A Boy, A Bat, and a Dream: A Story Every Child Deserves to Hear

There’s a special kind of magic that happens when a child picks up a baseball bat for the very first time. It’s the same magic that’s carried through generations — from dusty sandlots, to neighborhood parks, to grandpas who still remember the crack of the bat echoing across long summer evenings.
And that magic is exactly what lives inside A Boy, A Bat, and a Dream

This story follows young Chad, a kid with big dreams, a bigger heart, and the determination to chase something that lights him up inside. He isn’t the strongest or the fastest, but he’s got what every true champion needs: "belief," "grit", and somebody in his corner cheering him on.

And that’s where Grandpa comes in.

Told through the warm, familiar voice of a Southern grandpa — the kind who always has a story ready and a lesson tucked inside — this book reminds children that the dreams they carry in their hearts are worth swinging for. Whether it’s baseball, art, music, or school, every child deserves to know that with practice, patience, and a little encouragement, they can become anything they set their mind to.

* **Hard work:** Dreams don’t happen overnight, but step by step, swing by swing.
* **Courage:** Trying again after you miss is what builds champions.
* **Family:** Having someone who believes in you can change everything.
* **Confidence:** Kids learn that even small victories matter.

It's more than a sports story — it’s a life story.
It’s the kind of book grandparents love reading aloud… and the kind kids remember when they’re grown.

Perfect for Bedtime, Classroom Reading, or Gift-Giving

Parents, teachers, and grandparents have all said the same thing: this story sticks with kids long after the last page. It’s inspiring without being preachy, heartfelt without being heavy, and filled with the kind of wisdom only a grandpa can deliver.

And for families who grew up loving baseball?
Well… you’ll feel right at home.

As the author, I wanted to write a story that felt like it came straight from the front porch, where the rocking chair creaks and the evening breeze carries old memories. I wanted boys and girls everywhere to hear a voice that believes in them — even on days when they don’t believe in themselves.

Chad’s story is for every child with a dream, and for every grown-up who remembers having o
