Written for girls ages 8 to 12, this isn't a storybook with a moral tacked on at the end. These are 12 real athletes, quoted in their own words, who each show her a different way to keep going when quitting would be easier.
Here's what's inside:
- 12 true stories of women who broke real barriers: racism, a lost arm, a wheelchair, ADHD, and asthma, so she sees how someone actually gets back up.
- A uniquely named challenge for each of the 12: the Comeback Challenge, the Identity Challenge, the Voice Challenge, and nine more. Each pairs with four hands-on activities, 48 in total, so the lesson sticks instead of fading by the next page.
- A personal reflection question at the end of each chapter, presented in that athlete's voice: so she's thinking about her own life, not just someone else's.
- A full-page illustration for every athlete: so she's excited to turn the page, not just finish the story.
- A book she comes back to, not just reads once: nervous before a big day? Turn to Bethany. Needs courage? Turn to Simone. Needs to speak up? Turn to Megan.
12 women, 12 different fights:
Serena Williams trained on cracked courts in Compton and went on to win 23 Grand Slam singles titles. A month after losing her arm to a shark, Bethany Hamilton was back on her surfboard. Tatyana McFadden grew up in a Russian orphanage, taught herself to walk on her hands, and became a Paralympic racing champion.
She'll also meet Simone Biles, Megan Rapinoe, Chloe Kim, Leah Williamson, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Wilma Rudolph, Maya Moore, and Hilary Knight.Most books like this get read once and shelved. This one gets reached for.
The perfect gift for any parent, coach, grandparent, or mentor who wants to hand a girl something she'll actually use.
No fairy tales. No lectures. Just 12 women who got back up, and 48 ways for her to practice doing the same.
