In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Wilma Rudolph, the remarkable sprinter and Olympic champion. Wilma
was born into a family with 22 brothers and sisters, in the
segregated South. She contracted polio in her early years and her
doctors said she would never walk again. But Wilma persisted with
treatment, and she recovered her strength by the age of 12. At
school, Wilma showed a talent for basketball and sprinting, earning
the nickname "Skeeter" (mosquito) as she ran so fast. Wilma was in
college when she went to the 1960 Olympics. She not only won gold
in sprint events, but also broke world records with her sprinting
skill. She had beaten polio to become an Olympic champion. She is a
huge inspiration to many women in sports around the world. This
moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra
facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
historical photos and a detailed profile of the athlete's life.
