Growing Up Pedro: Candlewick Biographies: How the Martinez Brothers Made It from the Dominican Republic All the Way to the Major Leagues

The love between brothers is key to Matt Tavaresâ€™s tale of Dominican pitcher Pedro MartÃnez, from his days of throwing rocks at mangoes to his years as a major-league star.

Before Pedro MartÃnez pitched the Red Sox to a World Series championship, before he was named to the All-Star team eight times, before he won the Cy Young three times, he was a kid from a place called Manoguayabo in the Dominican Republic. Pedro loved baseball more than anything, and his older brother Ramon was the best pitcher heâ€™d ever seen. Heâ€™d dream of the day he and his brother could play together in the major leaguesâ€”and here, Matt Tavares tells the story of how that dream came true. In a fitting homage to a modern day baseball star, the acclaimed author-illustrator examines both Pedro MartÃnezâ€™s improbable rise to the top of his game and the power that comes from the deep bond between brothers.
