- The Story of Simone Biles: An Inspiring Biography for Young Readers (The Story of Biographies)

Good for young girls in gymnastic

Factual information with a short quiz at the end. 25-30 pages.

I have a daughter who struggles to read and doesn't enjoy it. She LOVES gymnastics and I bought this for her Christmas stocking hoping to inspire her to read and in gymnastics. I ended up giving it to her early, hoping it would get her reading, and it worked! She read the entire book in a day and has re-read much of it again. She even declared that she loved reading after this and has been inspired. It makes this mom's heart so thankful and happy!

Granddaughter loves it and loves Simone Biles!

The story was written well. Easy read for a preteen

A good book

Uplifting and inspiring book for kids, especially little girls.

I’ve bought almost all of these books and our daughters love them. Pros: age appropriate, easy for 6-9 year olds to understand and read. So far no scary details or bias agendas. Color pictures. Organized layout & summary style paragraphs. The serious is new so hopefully they’ll become more inclusive of the arts and innovation. Kids get enough of boring history in school. So far this series seems to be simultaneously covering old history but also capturing the biographies of some fascinating people who are contributing to the future. Let’s inspire kids.
