Wilma Rudolph was an energetic young girl with nineteen brothers and sisters in clarksville, Tennesse. She would jump and run from a veery young age. she didn't let the fact that she had polio put her down.She set her mind that she will run one day even though her left leg is paralyzed but she did mmore than run, she goes to the olympics.i think that this book is very inspiring for young children. I'd have my class write about how this woman's life has inspired them. ( )

The illustrations to this text by David Diaz make this a “must have” biography about the indomitable spirit of athlete Wilma Rudolph – the first woman from the United States to win three gold medals at one Olympics. Both the illustrations and text set a standard for biographies that is tough to beat.
