Trailblazers: Simone Biles
In August 2016, American gymnast Simone Biles won four Olympic gold medals! Her irresistible smile, fierce determination, and unbeatable strength have made her a favorite around the world. But before she was a gymnastics star, she lived through the foster care system, trained within an inch of her life, and leaned on her family, friends, and faith to get her through the hard times. Find out how the girl who taught herself to flip on her backyard trampoline blazed a trail in gymnastics with this book from the Trailblazers biography series that celebrates the lives of amazing pioneers, past and present, from all over the world!
