Description:
From the bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series comes the inspiring story of Michael Jordan, widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players who ever lived. As the youngest of four children, little Michael was fiercely competitive — always determined to be first at everything, especially when it meant outdoing his older brother. When he was turned away from his school basketball team, he came home heartbroken, but his mother's encouragement to go out and earn his place stuck with him. Michael practised tirelessly all summer until he became the star of the team, then went on to shine in college, at the Olympics and in the NBA, racking up six championships and tens of thousands of points along the way. With bright, stylish illustrations and a fact-packed timeline at the back, this is a wonderful introduction to a true sporting legend who urged kids everywhere to make it happen.
