An inspiring picture book biography about Glenn Burke, the first Major League Baseball player to come out as gay, and the story of how he created the worlds most recognizable handshake, the high five.Playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Glenn Burke could do it allhit, throw, run, field. He was the heart of the clubhouse who energized his teammates with his enthusiasm and love for the game. It was that energy that led Glenn to invent the high five one October day back in 1977a spontaneous gesture after a home run that has since evolved into our universal celebratory greeting.But despite creating this joyful symbol, Glenn Burke, a gay Black man, wasnt always given support and shown acceptance in return.From acclaimed author Phil Bildner, with illustrations from Daniel J. O'Brien, this moving picture book biography recognizes the challenges Burke faced while celebrating how his bravery and his nowfamous handshake helped pave the way for others to live openly and free.
