Mamie on the Mound

"Mamie on the Mound" is a biographical children's book written by Leah Henderson and published by Capstone Publishing.

In 1953, Mamie "Peanut" Johnson signed to play ball for the Negro Leagues' Indianapolis Clowns, becoming the first female pitcher to play on a men's professional team.

Such a delight and honor to illustrate this book!
