What if you could give the girl in your life a book that doesn't just share inspiring stories - but challenges her to become her own champion?
Written for girls ages 8-12, this isn't a collection of fairy tales. These are real girls who faced incredible odds - and rose above every one of them.
She'll discover how Serena Williams came out of Compton to dominate tennis. How Simone Biles turned her ADHD into a superpower. How Bethany Hamilton returned to surfing after losing her arm. How Maya Moore left basketball to fight for justice - and won.
She'll also meet Megan Rapinoe, Chloe Kim, Leah Williamson, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Tatyana McFadden, Wilma Rudolph, and Hilary Knight - every one of them was once a girl with a dream and the courage to chase it.
But here's what sets this book apart:
She won't just read these stories - she'll put them into action.
