This is a very good informational text book for children. This book would be great for talking about sports and when talking about the Olympics. It talks about his childhood and what all it took to get him to win the Olympics. Its good because it shows that he had struggles too and that it wasn't all easy for him to make it and achieve all that he did. This book would also be good for not just boys but girls too. I think that it is also nice that it includes his family as well. ( )
