Zephyr Wood and the Hundred Mile Home Run

 

The Story: On a bright Saturday morning in the sleepy town of Maplemont, Illinois, Zephyr Wood wakes early, laces up his cleats, and races to the field for his very first Little League game. At his first at-bat—and his very first swing—he connects with a pitch that soars high into the sunlight, rising higher and farther until it disappears beyond the fence and out of sight. In that moment, Zephyr’s dream of doing something extraordinary takes flight.

 

Themes: Anticipation, hope, the power of dreams.

 

The Heart of the Story: Sometimes one perfect swing can remind us that every great journey begins with a single, fearless moment of belief.
