Summary

Meet three inspirational super sportspeople: Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King and Bruce Lee! This clothbound, gift anthology binds up favorite stories from the internationally bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series and introduces little dreamers to the lives of these incredible sports champions… who changed the world.

In these remarkable true stories, learn how three sports personalities overcame hardship to achieve great success. Muhammad learned how to box after his bicycle was stolen. He trained hard to become heavyweight champion of the world, and the G.O.A.T. Billie Jean King worked odd jobs to save enough to buy her first tennis racket. Later, she revolutionised the world of tennis, on and off the court. Bruce Lee – born in San Fran but raised in Hong Kong, Bruce learned to fight after getting in trouble with the local gangs. After studying salsa, martial arts and philosophy, he came up with his own martial art form and starred in many films. Each of these empowering books features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the woman's life.

Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling series of books and educational games that explore the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.
