Review
"Gr 2-5–This early chapter book biography unveils the remarkable story of gymnastics legend Simone Biles, who stands at just 4 feet 8 inches. The interactive text is enriched with bold vocabulary, myth and fact highlights, maps, discussion questions, and time lines, offering readers a dynamic reading experience. Biles’s profound impact on sports and the Olympics is skillfully portrayed, emphasizing her strong focus and hard work." ―School Library Journal
"As a reading specialist, I look for rich literature that will appeal to my students at the elementary level. This book is filled with a robust vocabulary and has wonderful text features like "myth and fact," a timeline, and even a family tree. Rachelle has shared such personal details about Simone's life that students will be interested in turning the page to read more. All these features will help each and every reader engage with this biography." ―Linda Lyon, Reading Specialist
"Reading the biography reminded me of my time in competitive gymnastics. I also talked to myself to remain calm and have fun. I was reminded of how wonderful I felt after competing and pushing myself to do better next time. I love the positive energy and honesty of the story even around some rather tough topics of ‘family’ and ADHD. It was refreshing to know that Simone was allowed to make her own decisions about her career. I feel it is powerful for children to know they can make their own decisions." ―Kathy Coressel, Senior Regulatory Manager, 13 years in gymnastics
"An entertaining and informative introduction to an Olympic champion. Biles' hard work, dedication, and perseverance to her gymnastics career are highlighted and provide an inspiring story for young girls. A perfect addition to classroom sports biographies for young readers." ―Darlene Beck Jacobson, Children's Book Author
Praise for The Story of Sojourner Truth:
". . . sidebars that invite readers to respond personally to significant incidents or character traits will help hold readers’ interest . . . to spark further engagement, a quiz and a set of discussion questions follow the pithy closing analysis of Sojourner’s legacy." ―Kirkus Reviews
"Anita Crawford Clark is one of those shepherds of wisdom who uses her inviting writing style to provide educators with beautifully organized resources that illuminate stories of African American history. Definitely something parents/guardians, educators, and young readers can hold together as a shared learning experience!" ―Tunisha Singleton, Ph.D., Media and Communications Strategy/Innovation & Cultural Insights
"A brilliant chapter book biography of a worthy historical figure. It reveals so much of U.S. History and Sojourner Truth's life story. This book is a must for homes, and for community and elementary libraries everywhere." ―Dr. Kimberly A. Gordon Biddle, Educator and Author, Emeritus Professor of Child and Adolescent Development
"Anita Crawford Clark demonstrates a remarkable blend of poignancy and eloquence. Notably, the text features a series of thought-provoking discussion questions, strategically designed to facilitate active engagement among children, parents, and educators. This participatory approach not only enhances reading comprehension but also bolsters the confidence of young readers. These elements collectively contribute to a valuable educational resource for young learners that I highly recommend." ―Susan Arriaga, Private School Principal and Curriculum Specialist
Praise for The Story of Abraham Lincoln:
"Jablonski's fact-filled biography of Abraham Lincoln is an informative, insightful, and entertaining read that will have kids turning the pages as they learn his important and inspiring story. While some readers might be familiar with Lincoln's presidency, Jablonski's book starts with his childhood and includes interesting details about his life and family. I am excited to put this book on my library shelf, and I know that it is going to be popular with my elementary students." ―Soline Holmes, Librarian at Academy of the Sacred Heart
"One thing that really impressed me about this installment in the youth biography series is the thought that went into the Think Tank questions. Throughout the book, at least once per chapter, a Think Tank question encourages critical, creative, and empathetic thinking from the reader. This is an amazing tool to help children to engage with the text beyond the words on the page!" ―Jen K.
Praise for The Story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
"Inspirational reading―and much more. Katz, through the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, has built the perfect how-to manual to be the best that anyone can be: loyal to principles, open to compassion and social justice, and fully devoted to your profession." ―F. Isabel Campoy, Award-winning author (isabelcampoy.com)
"Susan has a wonderful ability to tackle hard topics like the discrimination Ruth Bader Ginsburg faced during her life and career and make them understandable to a young audience. Her thought-provoking sidebars invite readers to put themselves in Ruth's shoes and see the world through a wider lens. Bright illustrations round out this inspiring look at an important woman of our time." ―Brandi Dougherty, New York Times best-selling children's book author
"Readers will be engaged from the first page of this book about the exemplary life of a woman who opened doors for a new generation of law professionals. Her vision, persistence, and influence in the interpretation of human conduct will permeate the courts into the future." ―Alma Flor Ada, award-winning author, speaker, and educator (almaflorada.com)
"Katz’s ability to deftly present difficult issues like anti-Semitism, sexism, and gender discrimination in an age-appropriate way makes this book unique. By not papering over these formidable obstacles, young readers will see that, while they may encounter altogether different roadblocks, no path to greatness is without them. A must-read for any young boy or girl who dreams of doing big things." ― Dave Keane, author of Who Wants A Tortoise?, Sloppy Joe, and the Joe Sherlock: Kid Detective series
