Little People, BIG DREAMS – Volume 39

This inspiring picture book introduces young readers to Billie Jean King, the legendary tennis champion and advocate for fairness and equality in sports.

Billie Jean began playing tennis when she was 11 years old — and from the moment she picked up a racket, she knew she wanted to be the best in the world. With determination, practice, and courage, she went on to become a world champion and one of the most celebrated athletes in history. But Billie Jean didn’t just break records — she broke barriers. She worked to make sports more accessible, equal, and inclusive, using her platform to stand up for women and LGBTQ+ representation in athletics.

Told in warm, simple language and brightly illustrated, this picture-book biography shows children how hard work and bravery can create real change — on and off the court.
