Hi. Every March I run Women in Sports Month (and tie it in to various aspects of
learning information literacy skills) and work in collaboration with the PE
Department. I highly suggest doing this! The girls (I work in a school for girls)
LOVE it. They are empowered and they find it exciting! I hope that every
collection has a large collection of women in sports. When I first arrived at my
current library, there were almost no books about women in sports (at a girls'
school!!!).
So, here are some suggestions for great sports books for kids K-3 regardless of
their sex. Maybe people want to add to this list.
Mighty Jackie: The Strike Out Queen by Marissa Moss (baseball - biography)
Players in Pigtails by Shana Corey (baseball - historical fiction picture book)
Dulcie Dando: Soccer Star by Sue Stops (soccer - picture book)
Winners Never Quit by Mia Hamm (soccer - picture book)

historical fiction picture book)

Baseball League by Carolyn M. Trombe (baseball - biography)
Throw Like a Girl: Discovering the Body, Mind, and Spirit of the Athlete in You! by

Hayley Wickenheiser: Born to Play by Elizabeth Etve (ice hockey - biography)

Subject: good fiction sports books for 5-9 year olds
Hi,
I'm looking for sports oriented stories for boys ages 5-9. They can be easy
readers, and football stories would be particularly appreciated, Any favorite
authors or series?
Thanks,
