Today is Changing the Game: Asian Pacific American Female Athletes‘s 4th birthday. In celebration, I am giving away four signed books!
Changing the Game: Asian Pacific American Female Athletes by Mia Wenjen
Meet 17 Asian Pacific American female athletes from yesterday and today!
From snowboarder Chloe Kim and hockey player Julie Chu to soccer player Natasha Kai-Marks, these champions inspire us as we learn how they rose to compete at the highest level and how they pave the way for others to follow. [middle grade anthology, ages 8 and up]
