There Goes Ted Williams by Matt Tavares*

Mr. Tavares' illustrations are always amazing.  He captures the subject so well one feels that you are interacting with the real person.
In this book images of Ted Williams fill the page.  The layout designates the words off to the side so the reader can take in the illustration.
Mr. Tavares shares Ted Williams' choices from a child until the end of his career.  Through these choices, Mr. Tavares reveals a man of much character and a man to emulate.
In the back is an author's note that shares more information about Ted Williams plus his stats.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: inferring (character traits), synthesizing, determining importance-main idea/details
