Simone Biles

"At the 2016 Summer Olympics, Simone Biles dazzled gymnastics fans across the globe with each jaw-dropping flip, twist, and dismount. Her record-breaking performance catapulted her to the top of the sport, and she quickly became a hero to young people.

Filled with sports action and bold comic-style illustrations, this inspiring biography recounts the incredible life of a world class gymnast"--From the publisher's web site.
