Rating: 1-5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This inspiring book follows the stories of many successful athletes and teams, one for every letter of the alphabet. The book consists of many different sports, some being football, baseball, swimming, hockey, running, golf, etc... Many encouraging and uplifting role models were mentioned like Rackie Robinson, Jesse Owens, and Billie Jean. The showcasing of real underdog stories was really interesting and beautiful. Along with detailed illustrations and informative captions, this book is great for children above the age of eight. My one complaint for this book would be the lengthy descriptions. While they were very helpful and explanatory, there may have been too much information for a children’s book. It did not do the best job of holding my attention. The book did leave me feeling impressed and in awe of what others have accomplished. It would help anyone realize the importance of sports and its impact on our world. Regardless, I enjoyed reading about these monumental moments that not only affected sports, but the entire world.
