A fun and inspiring picture book biography of tennis legend and
women's rights activist Billie Jean King.
From award-winning author Mara Rockliff and New York Times-bestselling
illustrator Elizabeth Baddeley comes this extraordinary picture book
about one little girl who loved sports and grew up to be one of the
greatest and best-known tennis players of all time.
Anything Billie Jean did, she did it ALL THE WAY. When she ran, she ran
fast. When she played, she played hard. As a top women's tennis
player, Billie Jean fought for fairness in women's sports, and when she
faced off against Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes, the most
famous tennis match in history, she showed the world that men and
women--and boys and girls--are equal on and off the court.
