Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by
Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, a chapter book series about women
who spoke up and rose up against the odds--including Diana Taurasi!
When Diana Taurasi was a girl, professional women's basketball didn't
exist in the US. But she worked hard to create opportunities for
herself, winning championships throughout college and eventually going
on to play for the WNBA with the Phoenix Mercury and winning multiple
Olympic gold medals.
In this chapter book biography by award-winning author Monica Brown,
readers learn about the amazing life of Diana Taurasi--and how she
persisted.
Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white
illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in
Diana Taurasi's footsteps and make a difference! A perfect choice for
kids who love learning and teachers who want to bring inspiring women
into their curriculum.
And don't miss out on the rest of the books in the She Persisted series,
featuring so many more women who persisted, including Florence Griffith
Joyner, Sonia Sotomayor, and more!
