Dream Big: Michael Jordan and the Pursuit of Olympic Gold-ADVISABLE

Jordan, Deloris, ill. By Barry Root. Dream Big: Michael Jordan and the Pursuit of Olympic Gold. Pgs. 30. INFORMATION. PICTURE BOOK.


When Michael Jordan was young, he loved to play basketball, but he frequently had to put his love of the game aside. He never gave up on his dream, however, even when he got cut from his high school basketball tryouts. Read about how he started his way to being an Olympian.

A fun picture book with great illustrations. The text is simple, but entertaining. Readers who like basketball or who have heard of Michael Jordan will love reading this picture book. EL (K-3), EL (4-6). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library
