Need recommendation on Cool Papa Bell book
 

Got my Negro Leagues card set from the Bobblehead HOF and the mystery bobblehead that came with it was Cool Pap Bell. Needless to say, I was psyched. And so was my 7-year-old, who wanted it for himself. I made a deal - we'd read a book about Cool Papa Bell and he could have it. Now I'm in the need of a recommendation for a book about Bell that a 7-year-old can also appreciate. Anybody have a good suggestion? :)

The other day on Facebook John Thorn mentioned the future publication of a biography of Cool Papa Bell by Lonnie Wheeler. Won't be out until February of next year but the publisher's web page states it's the "first full biography." ETA: Just re-read your post about it needing to be something a seven-year old can appreciate. Hopefully there are lots of pictures. A terrific book aimed at youngsters is We are the Ship by Kadir Nelson. The artwork is superb.

Thanks for both suggestions, I think I'll put both on the list!
