Flying high : the story of gymnastics champion Simone Biles  Cover Image Book Book

Flying high : the story of gymnastics champion Simone Biles / Michelle Meadows ; illustrated by Ebony Glenn.

Meadows, Michelle, (author.). Glenn, Ebony, (illustrator.).

Summary:

Before she was a record-breaking gymnast competing on the world stage, Simone Biles spent time in foster care as a young child. Nimble and energetic, she cherished every playground and each new backyard. When she was six years old, Simone's family took shape in a different way: Her grandparents Ron and Nellie Biles adopted Simone and her sister Adria. Simone was also introduced to gymnastics that same year, launching a lifelong passion fueled by remarkable talent, sacrifice, and the undying support of her family. From her athletic childhood to the height of her success as an Olympic champion, this is the story of the world's greatest gymnast.
