A family lesson behind a baseball dream

Josh Bell’s path to professional baseball is presented as a story of determination shaped by family. The account begins with his father, Ernest, whose experiences in a tough neighborhood and efforts to succeed in sports, school, and life inform the advice he later gives his son. The recurring question in the title becomes a way for Josh to draw on that guidance when challenges feel overwhelming. As Josh reaches his childhood goal, the story also turns toward the next generation, with him passing his father’s lesson on to his own children.

Book overview

What Color is the Sky is the true story about how professional baseball player Josh Bell learned to stay strong on his journey to the MLB with help from his dad.

 

Growing up in a tough neighborhood, Ernest Bell had to work hard and keep his head up to succeed in sports, school, and life. He passed down the important lessons he learned along the way to his son Josh, who relied on his father's wisdom to make it through his own trials. Now whenever Josh is feeling overwhelmed or struggling with a challenge he simply asks himself "What color is the sky?"

 

Josh passes through different stages of life to become a professional baseball player, achieving his childhood dream. Now, he shares his father's wisdom with his own kids, so they too will look up, see that the sky is still there unchanged, and know that everything will be OK.
