COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great book for any kid who loves to run submitted by mollykleinman on July 10, 2018, 4:39pm My 3 and 5 year olds loved this book. They identified with the main character's passion for running fast, and were also interested in learning more about Wilma Rudolf, the real-life Olympian who comes to town at the end of the story.
