Overview

José hits a ball that speeds through a number of different cultural and environmental settings.  The tone is fun, and there is a “larger-than-life” sense that appeals to children’s imaginations, with a final page that includes the reader in the action.

Purpose

This book is ideal for studies on communities, time and motion, and location.  It provides the basis for discussion about how our community
might be made up of people from different cultures and about the range of activities that might take place within it.  The story gives children the
opportunity to think about how their actions can cause reactions, as they follow the fantasy of what happens when José sends the ball flying.
