Little Athletes with Big Dreams

I am always ridiculously excited about the Olympics and this year is no exception. I will be cheering on Katie Ledecky and Phoebe Bacon, two alumnae from my high school who made the swim team! Growing up, I loved swimming, riding, and figure skating on weekends. I was never a great student athlete (and was frankly downright terrible in soccer!) but I enjoyed the camaraderie of team sports in school, especially track and field.

Speaking of track, when the world met Sha'Carri Richardson during Olympic trials this month, there was no mistake: she is already a record-breaking legend. In an interview about her stunning performance, she said "I just want the world to know that I'm That Girl." Hearing that, we knew that we needed a Little Friday Reads book shelf to encourage young athletes!

Our Little Athletes with Big Dreams book shelf compliments our Bold and Bookish Game, Set, Match shelf for high school and adult readers. Our sports-related shelves are curated by one of my best friends from high school who was a star tennis player for our school. Is there a book we should add and promote on our Little Friday Reads Instagram? Send your suggestions to Pixie@LittleFridayReads.com!
