Book Synopsis



Triumphant, relatable, and totally true biographies tell the childhood stories of a diverse group of international athletes who have captured the world's attention at the Winter Olympics and Paralympics, including Johnny Weir, Chloe Kim, Alex and Maia Shibutani, Surya Bonaly, and 12 other inspiring Olympians.

All over the world, athletes break records and defy odds to compete in the games--and some were kids themselves when they started dreaming and training! In Kid Olympians: Winter, discover the childhood stories of legends such as:

  • Michelle Kwan, who used to sleep in her skating clothes to get a few extra minutes of sleep before her lessons at dawn!
  • Cindy Ouellet, one of the few athletes to have competed in both the Winter and Summer Paralympics.
  • Apolo Ohno, who started skating because he thought the speed skaters looked like superheroes!

With kid-friendly text and full-color illustrations, the book will inspire readers 8 to 12 years old to dream bigger, faster, and higher than ever before!

The diverse and inspiring group also includes Callan Chythlook-Sifsof, Adam Rippon, Kristy Yamaguchi, Lindsey Vonn, Marie-Philip Poulin, Shani Davis, Charles Flaherty, Maame Biney, and Nathan Chen.

Looking for even more totally true and inspiring childhood stories? Check out Kid Athletes and Kid Olympians: Summer!
