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, Naomi Osaka, Tatyana McFadden, and 12 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!

Featuring kid-friendly text and full-color illustrations, readers 8 to 12 years old will be inspired to dream bigger, faster, and higher than ever before!
