About this audiobook

Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast of all time, joins the ranks of this New York Times bestselling Ordinary People Change the World biography series about heroes, for ages 5 to 9.

At age eight, Simone Biles began working with a gymnastics trainer, and by fifteen she was competing in a national championship—and winning best all-around. Before she turned twenty, she was an Olympic gold medalist on her way to becoming the best gymnast the world has ever seen. And through it all, Simone has been a role model for bravely opening up about her mental health struggles, knowing when to take a break, and always finding the strength to try again.

This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these audiobooks encourage kids to dream big.

Included in each audiobook are:

A timeline of key events in the hero’s history
Childhood moments that influenced the heroes
Facts that make great conversation-starters
A virtue these heroes embody: This book highlights Simone's perseverance and grit.
