Up To Bat

was created with love for children with disabilities all over the world. Written by Jennifer and Sydney Tucker, the purpose of Up To Bat is to educate and inspire. The pictures are illustrated by Darryl and Sydney Tucker. At the age of 13, Sydney was moved to show her love for her Autistic Brothers and Sisters through writing and illustrating in this book. As parents, we created this book to support our children and to bring awareness to autism. The Tucker family lives in Louisville, Kentucky. Darryl Jr., Danyelle, and Dominique Tucker were diagnosed with Autism in 2005 and 2006. Since these diagnoses, The Tucker family has promoted Autism Awareness through writing, illustration, advocacy, and education. Children with disabilities can achieve great things!
