This series is always a joy to read, its a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but thats to be expected and its totally understandable.
This book here is about Wilma Rudolph, a girl who proved her strength and achieved so much. She contracted polio when she was just a child and she had to wear a leg brace, but thanks to the help and care of her loving and big family she was able to pull through and not only she started walking again, but she started training in sprinting. This all led to her winning three gold medals at the Olympics!
She's the perfect example of what good will, inner strength and a loving family are able to achieve and I'm sure that she could be someone children can look up to.

Wilma Rudolph is the newest to be spotlighted in this latest edition of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. This series is such a delight and the perfect way to educate not just kids but everyone about historic and cultural icons.

Rudolph was an American sprinter who became a sports icon following her successes at the 1956 and 1960 Olympic Games. This book portrays Rudolph contracting polio, to her facing segregation, and to her eventual record breaking performance at the 1960 Olympics when she became the first when to win three gold medals!

Amelia Flower illustrates this installment and does an amazing job. Flower's' art style was so captivating and her art definitely further helped tell Rudolph's' story. This installment easily became one of my favorite in the series. I love collecting these books and am so thrilled to add this one to the rest of my collection.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
