(4) K-3 Carolrhoda On My Own Books series. Illustrated by Janice Lee Porter. This short, somewhat superficial biography introduces one of the most heroic sports stars of the twentieth century. The easy-to-read chapters, accompanied by stylized artwork, cover Owens's childhood, college years, and Olympic medal-winning performance in Berlin. A black-and-white photograph illustrates the afterword. A list of important dates is included.
