In this New York Times bestselling classic, Caldecott Medal-winning artist Kadir Nelson tells the incredible story of baseball's unsung heroes -- perfect for celebrating the centennial anniversary of the Negro Leagues Featuring nearly fifty iconic oil paintings and a dramatic double-page fold-out, an award-winning narrative, a gorgeous design and rich backmatter, We Are the Ship is a sumptuous, oversize volume for all ages that no baseball fan should be without. Using an inviting first-person voice, Kadir Nelson shares the engaging story of Negro League baseball from its beginnings in the 1920s through its evolution, until after Jackie Robinson crossed over to the majors in 1947. The story of Negro League baseball is the story of gifted athletes and determined owners, of racial discrimination and international sportsmanship, of fortunes won and lost; of triumphs and defeats on and off the field. It is a perfect mirror for the social and political history of black America in the first half of the twentieth century. But most of all, the story of the Negro Leagues is about hundreds of unsung heroes who overcame segregation, hatred, terrible conditions, and low pay to do one thing they loved more than anything else in the world: play ball.

Nothing EVER works, like advertised.
Scent: Alpine Meadow
I love this dog soap. It works awesome on my lab/ husky mix. No more dropping wet shampoo bottles, reaching for them, and my boy shaking water everywhere. Lol, seriously this works great! Smells great and took the stink out of his rubber collar. Nothing else has worked short of buying another. You won't be disappointed.

Love the ingredients!
I usually don’t write reviews, but absolutely love this bar soap for my dog. It has all natural ingredients which helped his skin beneath his thick German shepherd coat. It suds up well, but rinsed off fast. The benefits lasted days and made his coat, silky and shiny and healthy.

Perfect Training Treat for Dogs with Allergies! 🐾✨
Flavor Name: Rabbit, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The Pupford Freeze Dried Training Treats have been an absolute game-changer for my dog with allergies. Finding a safe, delicious treat that doesn’t upset his system has always been a challenge, but these are perfect!
Made with just two simple ingredients, these treats are not only allergy-friendly but also super convenient. The small size is ideal for training sessions, and my dog absolutely loves them! Unlike some other treats, they don’t have an overwhelming smell, which is a huge plus for me.
If your dog has dietary sensitivities or you’re just looking for a healthy, easy-to-use training treat, I can’t recommend these enough. They’ve made training sessions so much easier and more enjoyable for both of us! 🐶💖🐇

These little treats are perfect. They are low in kcals and my dogs love them. Guilt free training rewards. I buy about 1 bag a month for three dogs!
