Synopsis:
Growing up in Redding, California, Megan discovered her calling chasing a ball on the school playground. Even if she didn’t always fit in at school, she was a star on the field—and her teammates thought so too. Her passion, skill and leadership took Team USA to Olympic Gold and a World Cup victory, while she continues to champion women’s and LGBTQ+ rights and representation in sports, in the US and across the world. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the US co-captain’s life. My thoughts: Another great addition to this fabulous series of mini-biographies that show children that there are many ways in which people make a difference. It is great to see a biography of a female athlete and an activist for equal rights, somebody who achieved a lot of success through her passion and hard work. Thank you to NetGalley and Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the review copy provided in exchange for an honest opinion. Comments are closed.
