HOUSTON — In Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s children’s book, The Exclamation Mark, the most boisterous punctuation mark of them all has issues finding an identity. He tried to be like a period but couldn’t shake that line above his dot. He was too loud. Too awkward. Too everything. But at the end of the book he finally finds his way through an appreciation of his own unique qualities.
While a junior at the University of Georgia, Patriots rookie wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell was exploring a Barnes and Noble in Athens, working his way through timeless classics like The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Giving Tree and then he picked up The Exclamation Point.
