Simone Biles was only 56 inches tall, but every inch was puree dynamite when she was on the mats or bars. She won medals and sat international records and that took years of mental and physical effort. asometimes pain and anguish were her companions. The story of how she did what she did is told here in this book. Written by Rachelle Burk and beautifully illustrated by Steffi Walthall the book is an interesting and inspiring read for all ages, the young and the young at heart. I give the book ten stars. A hint to the reader, don't stop at page 46, keep going.

I’ve been waiting several weeks for my copy of The Story of Simone Biles to be available on Amazon. I’d read and enjoyed many of the books in this series: “A Biography book for new readers”. This book does not disappoint.I’m looking forward to gifting this excellent book to my grand niece. Buy this book and inspire your young female gymnast in your family.

Arrived mint condition. Great book, inspiration for any kid or adult for that matter. I like that it touched on the sacrifices and choices along the way that Simone Biles made to work hard for her success.To be clear, this was for my 1st grader- i read it TO her, it wasn't purchased for her to read herself. Its a kid book but not for a 6 year old to read, I think she'd need another yr or 2 to tackle it herself.

I ordered this book for my great granddaughter. She is in gymnastics and I thought she would be interested in reading about Miss Biles. It turns out that she loved the book! She did very well with the read!
