Synopsis
Based on a true story. For readers ages 8-12
David Harrell was born without his right hand, but that never stopped him from dreaming big. A Little Potato and Hard to Peel is the story of a boy who grows up navigating a world that wasnāt built for him, finding his courage, and discovering that the very thing that makes him different might be his greatest strength.
Rooted in a story Davidās grandfather told him about his little league baseball team, āThe Little Potatoes and Hard to Peelā, this book is for every child who has ever felt smaller than the moment in front of them.
Critical Praise
āA funny and touching fictionalized true story of a boy overcoming obstacles with can-do optimism that is ultimately moving.ā
