Two-time Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Gabrielle Douglas shares what it's like to be an Olympic Champion and a normal teenage girl in this four-color inspirational book.
In the 2012 London Olympics, Gabrielle Douglas became a star, winning two gold medals and making history as the first African American to win the Individual All-Around Olympic title. Like Mary Lou Retton before her, Gabrielle is now a celebrity, appearing on talk shows like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Kellogg's Corn Flakes boxes, shooting guest spots on popular TV shows like The Vampire Diaries, in addition to being named Women's Sports Foundation Sportswoman of the Year. Gabrielle has also become a hero to many young girls and teens due to her statements on believing in yourself and trusting in God to get you through.
In Raising the Bar-a four-color, photo-driven inspirational book-fans of Gabrielle will have an inside look at her life now, as well as behind-the-scenes glimpses of what is still important to her today-such as time with her family and friends, her training regimen, her favorite ways to relax, and how she spends time with God. Perfect for girls eight and up, Raising the Bar provides information fans will enjoy, and inspiration parents will appreciate.
