Book overview

In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

Little Michael wanted to be the first at everything--especially if that meant beating his older brother. One day, he came home crying...he'd been rejected from the basketball team at school. With his mother's message of "go out and earn it" ringing in his ears, Michael practiced all summer. Soon he was the star of the team, going from school, to college, to the Olympics.

After six titles, more than 1,000 games, and exactly 32,292 points, MJ had become a sports legend, who encouraged kids to "make it happen!" This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the baller's life.

Little People, BIG DREAMS is a best-selling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.

This empowering series of books offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats. The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardcover and paperback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers. With rewritten text for older children, the treasuries each bring together a multitude of dreamers in a single volume. You can also collect a selection of the books by theme in boxed gift sets. Activity books and a journal provide even more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to children.

Inspire the next generation of outstanding people who will change the world with Little People, BIG DREAMS!
