The Talking Baseball

By BETTE LEVINE and Julie Howery

"The Talking Baseball," tells the story of two brothers, Jake and Noah and their experiences while playing baseball. Starting from the beginning, Noah, the younger brother, finds a baseball at a yard sale, while shopping with his Mother. It was at the yard sale that the baseball talked to Noah for the first time. Noah, quite surprised, ran to tell his mother. Of course, she didn't believe him, but she agreed to allow Noah to buy the ball. The ball becomes a wonderful friend to the two brothers and a wonderful instructor of baseball. But, even more important, the ball teaches the boys the essentials of being model children within a wonderful family. They were also taught the essentials of being great siblings to each other. It is a fun and inspirational story, sure to capture the heart of all young children.

BETTE LEVINE

Bette Levine, now a grandmother, has lived a full life, having raised two sons, while working all her life. She had a great influence on her boys, Jake and Noah. They, too, loved sports, just as she did. Baseball was her favorite sport as it is theirs. When she was in her 40’s Bette was diagnosed with Multiple Schlerosis, but after much research, she went to Boston's Mass General Hospital and found she did not have MS, but another similar disease called, Dystonia. Bette has met many people with either disease and she continues to keep in touch with many of them. She also advocates for people. Please give as much as you can to the respective organizations to help research eliminate such dreadful diseases. My thanks to you all!
