The True Story of Sportswriter Mary Garber

Written by Sue Macy & illustrated by C.F. Payne [Ohio]

Mary Garber was one of the first female sports journalists in American history. This illustrated biography captures her feisty and determined spirit, and brings her story as a sportswriter for fifty-six years to life. She was the first woman to receive the Associated Press Sports Editors’ Red Smith Award, presented for major contributions in sports journalism, having covered such sports as baseball, basketball and football during her career. 40 pages

"In this well-researched picture-book biography, Macy introduces Garber as a person who followed her passion for sports, despite her mother’s disapproval, and did her job with purpose, integrity, and dignity. The narrative is swiftly paced, smoothly written, and filled with interesting details and quotes. Payne’s soft-focus mixed-media illustrations feature beautifully delineated period settings and a masterful use of composition for dramatic effect." -Booklist, Starred Review (Grades 2-4)
