Help your little one dream big with a Little Golden Book biography about superstar American Olympic swimmer, Katie Ledecky! Katie loved to swim, and she was fast — and she wanted to be even faster. By eighth grade, she was learning advanced swimming techniques and dreaming of Olympic gold! And it wasn't long before she reached that dream: at the 2012 Olympic Games, she was 15 — the youngest member of the U.S. swimming team — and she won the 800 meter freestyle by four seconds. In 2016 and 2021, she was back again and won even more medals. Who knows what she'll do in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris?
Young readers will be inspired by Katie Ledecky, the world record-breaking American swimmer and two-time winner of the AP Female Athlete of the Year Award, as they read her amazing story in the iconic Little Golden Book format.
