      About This Book

      A sweet and thoughtful picture book about how we all need forgiveness--even parents--from the bestselling author of Andy Johnson and the March for Justice and Josey Johnson's Hair and the Holy Spirit.

      Isaiah Johnson's baseball team has made it to the championships, and he's up to bat! Most of the Johnson family is in the stands cheering him on . . . but someone is missing: Isaiah's dad.

      When Dad finally shows up, he apologizes for his absence and asks for Isaiah's forgiveness. But Isaiah is still hurt and isn't sure if he can forgive. 

      As a dad who's made plenty of mistakes himself, Esau McCaulley has crafted a biblically informed story that offers plenty of avenues for discussion on the power of forgiveness.
