Welcome to Litsy!

#MiddleGradeMonday Olympic nonfiction edition!

When I saw the prompt was for a book about an athlete, I immediately thought of the books about Jim Thorpe and Simone Biles on my nonfiction shelf. Then I realized I have books about these other two Olympic gold medalists as well.

I‘m tagging Undefeated as it‘s the only one I‘ve actually read myself and it‘s a fantastic book.

2. Wilma Unlimited: How Wilma Rudolph Became the World's Fastest Woman

4 ⭐This is the type of biography for children that I wish “Little People Big World“ would write. This book happens to be about Minda Dentler. She was the first disabled woman to compete and win an Iron Man world championship. This story starts with how Minda lost the use of her legs, which was polio, and how she was adopted and came to the states, and how her parents always told her she could do anything as long as she could figure it out.

#AutumnPlease! Day 24: #WorldPolioDay reminded me of Wilma Rudolph, Olympic champion and world‘s fastest woman, who suffered from polio as a child. Ever since she was a baby, Wilma had always been sickly, weighing only a little over four pounds at birth. Yet despite this, she remains a sprightly young girl who preferred jumping and running to simply walking. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7uT
