Official synopsis Publisher
Kenyon loves to listen to his grandmother’s stories almost as much as he loves to play baseball. He’d like Little Dolly to designate him the next Keeper of the family lore, but she tells him the honor is reserved for girls.
Setting out to buy a 90th birthday gift for Little Dolly, Kenyon instead falls for a new baseball glove for himself. As regret weighs down his heart, he confides his shame to his father, who tells him that you can only learn from your mistakes. Just when Kenyon thinks he’s run out of ideas for Little Dolly’s gift, inspiration hits.
