The Catcher With Heart: Dream big. Train hard. Play with heart.

A heartwarming story about courage, friendship, and daring to dream big.

Mari loves baseball.

While most of the girls in Woodland River play berryball, Mari spends her afternoons playing catch with her Papá and dreaming of becoming a professional baseball catcher. Sometimes being different can feel lonely, but Mari never gives up on the game she loves.

When an invitation to a special baseball camp changes everything, Mari meets inspiring players, makes new friends, and discovers that courage isn't about never being afraid. It's about believing in yourself and following your dreams, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.

Filled with memorable animal characters, humour, warmth, and beautiful illustrations by Roger Haldane, The Catcher With Heart celebrates perseverance, kindness, and the joy of sport.

Perfect for readers aged 6–10 and for anyone who has ever dreamed of achieving something extraordinary.
