Exceptional athletes throughout history have dreamed of competing in the Olympics-and some were kids themselves when those dreams and plans began!
In Kid Olympians: Summer , discover the childhood stories of legends like: Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, who used to skip after-school practices to go to the arcade and play video games. Serena Williams sometimes hit her tennis ball over the fence on purpose during practice, so she'd have an excuse to take a break!
Gymnast Nadia Comaneci's mother signed her up for gymnastics at five, to give her an outlet for her endless energy. Running star Wilma Rudolph survived polio and had to learn to walk again before she could run.
Featuring kid-friendly text and full-color illustrations, Kid Olympians: Summer highlights international athletes at the top of their field who have competed in the iconic Summer Olympic games. The diverse and inspiring group also includes Dick Fosbury, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Gertrude Ederle, Yusra Mardini, Ellie Simmonds, Tommie Smith, Megan Rapinoe, and Naomi Osaka.
