Salt in His Shoes

Michael Jordan, the famous basketball star, is the subject of this story. It was written by his mother and sister. It tells the narrative of a young boy named Michael who wants to grow up, and his mother instructs him to put salt on his shoes. Michael is tenacious in the pursuit of his dream of playing basketball. He displays a high level of commitment and enthusiasm for the game of basketball. The word conjures up ideas of championship-level basketball just by saying it. Michael, on the other hand, was on the point of giving up his basketball goals as a child, frightened that he'd never grow tall enough to play the sport that would one day make him famous. That's when his parents stepped in and taught him the importance of patience, determination, and hard work in becoming a champion.

The basketball legend's mother, Deloris Jordan, works with his sister, Roslyn, to offer this emotional and inspirational story that only Jordan's family members could provide. It's a narrative about faith and hope, and how a family's cooperation may help a child realize his or her ambitions.
