Who is Simone Biles? Cover Image Book

Who is Simone Biles? / by Stefanie Loh ; illustrated by Joseph J.M. Qiu.

Loh, Stefanie, (author.). Qiu, Joseph J. M., (illustrator.).

Summary:

"In 2021, Simone Biles shocked the world when she pulled out of the Tokyo Olympic Games after experiencing the "twisties" -- a scary feeling during which gymnasts lose control of their bodies while mid-air. Audiences had expected Simone to dominate these games. With seven Olympic medals, twenty-five World Championships medals, and four gymnastic skills named after her, she is considered to be the G.O.A.T. of women's gymnastics. That summer, however, Simone became more than just a legendary athlete. She became an advocate for mental health and protecting yourself even when the world is watching." -- Provided by publisher.
