{"product_id":"wilma-rudolph-victoria-sherrow-9781575054421","title":"Wilma Rudolph","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1946, six-year-old Wilma Rudolph dreamed of walking and playing like other children, but a sickness called polio had damaged her left leg. Wilma spent hours each week doing painful exercises at a hospital for African American patients. The rest of the time, she was forced to wear a heavy and cumbersome leg-brace. Still, Wilma never gave up. She knew she could walk again, and if she could walk, maybe she could run. Author Victoria Sherrow tells how Wilma Rudolph's determination led her to the 1956 and 1960 Olympics where she gained fame as a champion runner. Larry Johnson's rich illustrations help to capture this true story of heroic strength and fearlessness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria Sherrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1575054426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781575054421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e First Avenue Editions (Tm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.85w x 0.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e47186 \/ Wilma Rudolph (English)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2000 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2000 pg. 1116\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2000 pg. 385 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2000 pg. 385 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw","brand":"Victoria Sherrow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995073052927,"sku":"9781575054421","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db226039-4f26-4666-9d64-6cdd749e8d79.jpg?v=1683333748","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wilma-rudolph-victoria-sherrow-9781575054421","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
