This is a great, quick review of Simone Biles’ life up to 2021. I imagine any kids interested in gymnastics will enjoy reading this book and finding out more about her. The pictures and fun facts make this a great book for younger readers. She is a great role model and I feel like this is a wonderful book to add to elementary school libraries so that students will have access to info about a talented young American. Very well done!
