Publisher Description

Triumphant, relatable, and totally true biographies tell the childhood stories of a diverse group of international athletes who have captured the world’s attention at the Summer Olympics and Paralympics, like Simone Biles, Jesse Owens, Michael Phelps, Naomi Osaka, Tatyana McFadden, Yusra Mardini, and ten other incredible Olympians.

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 such as:

  • Usain Bolt, who used to skip practices to go to the arcade and play video games

  • Serena Williams, who sometimes hit her tennis ball over the fence on purpose

  • Tatyana McFadden, who had to fight to be allowed on her school’s track team



The diverse and inspiring group also includes Dick Fosbury, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Gertrude Ederle, Nadia Comaneci, Ellie Simmonds, Tommie Smith, Wilma Rudolph, and Megan Rapinoe.

Kid-friendly text will inspire listeners to dream bigger, faster, and higher than ever before.
