One of the Little People, Big Dreams series of picture book biographies. Back matter includes a timeline, photos, and a concise biography. Wilma Rudolph was born in Tennessee in 1940, the 19th(!) child in her family, and she overcame a series of childhood illnesses - including polio - to become an Olympic gold medalist (for the 100- and 200-meter sprints and the 400-meter relay); "she challenged what people thought was possible for women to achieve in athletics." She used her success to advocate for integration; then she graduated from college and became a teacher. Part of the Little People Big Dreams Series, this book chronicles the life of the famous sprinter Wilma Rudolph. Overcoming polio, segregation and prejudice, Wilma wins the three gold medals at the Olympics. The illustrations of her riding the back of the bus for her treatments will help drive the message home. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle Serie
"Wilma was born into a family with 22 brothers and sisters, in the segregated South. She contracted polio in her early years and her doctors said she would never walk again. But Wilma persisted with treatment, and she recovered her strength by the age of 12. At school, Wilma showed a talent for basketball and sprinting, earning the nickname "Skeeter" (mosquito) as she ran so fast. Wilma was in college when she went to the 1960 Olympics. She not only won gold in sprint events, but also broke world records with her sprinting skill. She had beaten polio to become an Olympic champion. She is a huge inspiration to many women in sports around the world. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the athlete's life"--Amazon.

Wilma Rudolph is a famous athlete who contracted polio as a child. She had many siblings growing up, and also just has one of the most incredible stories you'll ever hear. Perseverance is incredible!
I liked the illustrations in this book better than a couple of the others in this series. They are cute and cartoon-y.
Whether you are an adult or child, these books can be enjoyable! They are the perfect, little non-fiction read to spice up story time or bedtime reading! I highly recommend grabbing these books.
Four out of five stars.
