Billie Jean King is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Read about this amazing woman athlete in the seventeenth picture book in the New York Times bestselling series of biographies about heroes.

This friendly, fun biography series focuses on the traits that made our heroes great--the traits that kids can aspire to in order to live heroically themselves. Each book tells the story of one of America's icons in a lively, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers and that always includes the hero's childhood influences. At the back are an excellent timeline and photos.┬аThis volume features Billie Jean King, the world champion tennis player who fought successfully for womenтАЩs rights. From a young age, Billie Jean King loved sportsтАФespecially tennis! But as she got older, she realized that plenty of people, even respected male athletes, didn't take women athletes seriously. She set to prove them wrong and show girls everywhere that sports are for everyone, regardless of gender.

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 books encourage kids to dream big.

Included in each book are:┬а┬а┬а┬а
┬а тАв A timeline of key events in the heroтАЩs history ┬а┬а
┬а тАв Photos that bring the story more fully to life ┬а┬а
┬а тАв Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable
┬а тАв Childhood moments that influenced the hero ┬а┬а┬а
┬а тАв Facts that make great conversation-starters ┬а┬а┬а
┬а тАв A virtue this person embodies: Billie Jean King's determination opened the door for countless other atheletes.┬а

YouтАЩll want to collect each book in this dynamic, informative series!
