The Quickest Kid in Clarksville

40 pp. | Chronicle | February, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4521-2936-5 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Frank Morrison. In this engaging, lively story, Alta's self-proclaimed "quickest kid in Clarksville" title is challenged by new-girl Charmaine. But on the day of the parade celebrating their hero, 1960 Olympic track star Wilma Rudolph, the girls collaborate. The text hints at the remarkable fact that Rudolph insisted that the celebrations be integrated; an author's note provides fuller mention and further information about Rudolph's life and achievements.
