Hilarious childhood biographies and full-color illustrations show how Tiger Woods, Gabby Douglas, Bruce Lee, Billie Jean King, and other budding sports champions faced kid-sized challenges growing up.

Forget the gold medals, the championships, and the undefeated seasons. When all-star athletes were growing up, they had regular-kid problems just like you: Baseball legend Babe Ruth was such a troublemaker, his family sent him to reform school. Race car champion Danica Patrick fended off bullies who told her girls can't drive. And football superstar Peyton Manning was forced to dance the tango in his school play.

Written with humor by David Stabler and illustrated throughout with lively full-color cartoons by Doogie Horner, Kid Athletes brings sports history to life through engaging biographies that celebrate determination, resilience, teamwork, and perseverance. Whether young sports fans ages 8-12 dream of competing on the field, court, rink, or track--or simply enjoy inspiring true stories--this entertaining collection reminds every child that greatness starts with being willing to keep trying.
