Little People, Big Dreams: Simone Biles
Discover More Hardback
In this Little People, BIG DREAMS biography, children discover the extraordinary life of Simone Biles—the most decorated gymnast in history, known for her brilliance, determination, and individuality. Growing up in foster care before being adopted by her grandparents, Simone found an anchor in gymnastics after trying it on a school trip. Coaches spotted her natural talent, and through years of hard work she rose to world championships and Olympic gold.
As well as being widely celebrated as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, Simone is also an important advocate for mental health awareness—famously choosing her wellbeing by stepping back from the 2020 Olympic finals. The story also highlights her dramatic comeback at the 2024 Olympics, inspiring young readers to follow their dreams while taking care of themselves. Stylish, quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back round out this empowering read.
