Olympic themes spark young readers' dreams
Review by Dee Ann Grand
Olympic champion Bonnie Blair wins American's hearts again with her first book for children ages 7-11, A Winning Edge. Photo-filled and cleverly illustrated, Bonnie Blair shares touching moments in her life that will tug the heartstrings of young readers. With the unshakable support of her family and friends, Bonnie tells of her struggle for the gold, amazingly unaffected by all the inflated egos and commercial hype that fame can bring. Throughout, Bonnie gives tips to future Olympic hopefuls that not only apply to athletic competition, but also to everyday living.
Dee Ann Grand lives in Atlanta, is caught up in the Olympic fervor, and is a book editor for young readers.
