Major Taylor: Champion Cyclist

40 pp. | Atheneum/Schwartz | January, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-689-83159-5 $$16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by James E. Ransome. This is the story of a lesser-known African-American athlete breaking down racial barriers. Major Taylor rose to the top of the cycling world in the early 1900s, starting out working in a bike store as a boy and ending up a world champion cyclist. The engaging narrative and rich oil paintings create an impressive portrait of an inspiring man.
