This is a GREAT book, and I cannot recommend it enough! I actually remember Surya Bonaly, and some of the messaging that was going on there, and unfortunately her story is still very much relevant today.

The kids were engrossed and we had some wonderful conversations!

This picture book biography has beautiful, expressive illustrations, but the text spreads out over the page in a stylistic way that I found distracting, and I didn't like the random periods between words for emphasis. The book also ends in an abrupt and somewhat misleading way, after building up to Surya's moment of victory.
