School Library Journal - 11/01/2025 PreS-Gr 1—Cristiano Ronaldo played professional soccer as a teen, Ilona Maher's father inspired her to play rugby, Lionel Messi won an Olympic gold medal in soccer, Shohei Ohtani is a two-way baseball player, and football player Travis Kelce is the biggest "Swiftie." These and other basic facts about the subjects are related in simple, first-person prose. Readers learn of their early lives and professional careers. The narratives contain photos of the subjects in their respective athletic settings. Despite the brevity of facts, these volumes provide excellent introductions to famous athletes and young fans will enjoy reading about the subjects on their own. VERDICT These age-appropriate introductions to athletes currently in the news will be suitable additions to school and public libraries. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
