When I was a bookseller, I hand sold many copies of Wilma Unlimited,
(written by Kathleen Krull and illustrated by David Diaz) to many teachers and parents looking for good books about African-American sports figures.

Beautifully illustrated, this picturebook tells the inspiring story of how Wilma Rudoph overcame childhood polio to become one the fastest women runners in history.
