Flying High; The Story of Gymnastics Champion Simone Biles

Flying High; The Story of Gymnastics Champion Simone Biles

Written by Michelle Meadows: Illustrated by Ebony Glenn

New York: Henry Holt and Company, 2020

Biography Book

This is the lyrical biography of Simone Biles, a gymnastics champion and Olympic superstar. Her story is an inspiring one, that can really show you what you can do when you put your mind to it. That as many obstacles you have in your way you too can overcome them.

The illustrations in this book are very colorful and bright. The drawings could have possibly been in watercolor, the illustrations are hand-drawn. There are so many details in the pictures which makes the book even more inviting. 

I chose language arts as my content and 3rd for my grade. I would incorporate this book by asking the children if her story inspires them. Then I would get them to do a hand-written letter to her telling how she inspires them,
