Kaitlin L, Librarian
The "Kid" series is fantastic. They're inspirational for little people, while being up front about the struggles the athletes faced as children and beyond.
The reading level is similar to the Who Is series, while probably being more accessible because of the colorful illustrations and less of a focus on world events.
Thank you for the ARC. I will purchase for my library.
