My father believed that baseball players belonged to the people. Now, thanks to Sofia’s Stoop Story, Carl Furillo belongs to a new generation of fans.

A Wonderful and Unique Children’s Book. Sophia’s Stoop Story is a great intergenerational story. It gives children a window into what it was like growing up for our generation. Something that many of them may never get to experience otherwise. More importantly, it’s a story of the importance of family love and respect.

I have not only read this story twice as I liked the story and its illustrations very much but I also followed author Maria Laplaca Bohrer on YouTube and heard her story telling. She is such a great story teller that I would like to recommend not only her book but also ask readers to listen to her story on YouTube. She has narrated it with the help of some props, exchanged gender voices and English and Italian accent. It’s just too entertaining.

This story is full of heart. When I read it, it made me think fondly of my Sunday night family traditions as a child. Also, for any baseball fans out there, Uncle Frankie shares a personal experience of meeting Carl Furillo.
Awarded a Teacher’s Choice Award in 2015, I highly recommend this story.

Sofia’s Stoop Story is a wonderful read for all ages. I loved discussing this book with contemporaries who did have warm memories of just such family gatherings. The historical reference to the Brooklyn Dodgers and Carl Furillo gave my 90 year old dad a chance to reach back to 1947 and share his memories of that baseball milestone.
