And you had to be really, really good to play in the 1946 championship game between the Racine Belles and the Rockford Peaches. Sitting in the stands, Margaret thrilled to every crack of the bat, stolen base, and pulse-pounding play. Someday she hoped to join her heroes like Sophie "the Flash" Kurys and Betty "Moe" Trezza. But for now she concentrated all her energy and passion for the game on this amazing fourteenth inning. As the pitcher's ball hurtled toward the plate, Margaret could almost feel what it would be like to be in that batter's position, arms tensed, bat held high, just ready to make that baseball fly ...
Doreen Rappaport, Lyndall Callan, and acclaimed artist E.B. Lewis take young readers back to a historic game in the annals of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Based on written accounts and on the memories of the players themselves, this exciting story is for all those playground heroines and sandlot sluggers whose hearts beat a little faster whenever they hear the words ...
"Play ball!"
After finishing the sixth grade, he attended the Saturday morning Temple University School Art League run by his uncle. Under the tutelage of Clarence Wood, a noted painter in Philadelphia, Lewis began his formal art training. He remained in the program until his enrollment in the Temple University Tyler School of Art in 1975.
During his four years at Temple, Lewis majored in Graphic Design and Illustration, along with Art Education. There he discovered his medium of preference, watercolor.
Upon graduation in 1979, Lewis went directly into teaching, along with freelancing in Graphic Design. Between 1985 and 1986 he had completed a body of work which was exhibited in a downtown Philadelphia gallery. The show sold out and bought him public recognition and critical acclaim. Within two years his work was exhibited at the prestigious Rosenfeld Gallery in Philadelphia, where his shows continue to sell out.
Lewis' work is now part of major private collections and is displayed in galleries throughout the United States. Honoring Lewis, Barbara Bader's History on American Picture books will be including a description of Earl and his achievements as an artist. Currently, Earl Lewis is teaching illustration at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and is a member of The Society of Illustrators in New York City.
E. B. Lewis is the illustrator of two Coretta Scott King Honor Books, Rows and Piles of Coins and Bat Boy and his Violin. He lives in New Jersey.
