What Every Child Needs To Know About Billie Jean King

Billie Jean King changed how girls play. Today, girls can play in year-round competitive sports leagues, they can look up to a number of female professional athletes, and, if they are really good, they even can cash absurdly large paychecks for playing a game. With honesty, integrity, simplicity, and humor, What Every Child Needs To Know About Billie Jean King explains how all of this is possible because of the life and work of one particular professional athlete and activist. Written by a child expert and an M.D., What Every Child Needs To Know About Billie Jean King is the book for any adult who is looking forward to being part of the cheering squad of an aspiring female athlete.
