Discover the inspiring story of Jesse Owens, African American
track-and-field athlete and Olympic gold medalist, in this
fascinating kids' biography. Jesse Owens is one of the most famous
athletes of all time, but he experienced discrimination throughout
his athletic career, such as having to stay at a different hotel to
his teammates, because of the color of his skin. However, he went
on to win an incredible four gold medals at the Berlin 1936 Olympic
Games. This biography, ideal for kids aged 8-11, charts the major
events of Jesse's life; from his childhood growing up on a farm in
Alabama before his family moved to Ohio in search of better
opportunities, to the beginning of his running career and years as
a world record-breaking student athlete while working part-time
jobs, all the way to the Olympics and beyond. DK Life Stories goes
beyond the basic facts to tell the true life stories of history's
most interesting and inspiring people. Full-colour photographs and
hand-drawn illustrations complement age-appropriate, narrative text
to create an engaging book children will enjoy reading. Definition
boxes, information sidebars, inspiring quotes, and other nonfiction
text features add depth, and a handy reference section at the back
makes DK Life Stories the one biography series everyone will want
to collect.
