Introducing new readers to some of history's most interesting and important people, these biographies focus on the pivotal episodes that show what kind of person the subject is (or was) and how he or she came to be famous. Although written in a story format, these books are not fictionalized accounts. A chronology of major events follows the story, along with a brief summary of the subject's life.

“Babe” Didrikson Zaharias was truly a woman ahead of her time. As a young girl born in the early 1900s, she excelled at all things physical; always being chosen first for any school yard game. When she was in high school, her talents were recognized by a recruiter that helped continue her journey to the Olympic games and beyond. This is a great retelling of her inspiring story for elementary age students.
