I really like this "Little people big dreams" concept by Maria Vegara to let children learn about popular personalities. Here we know about Simone Biles, one of the most successful Gymnasts from USA.
I still remember watching her perform in RIO Olympics. Never knew that she was sexually assaulted too by her physician depicting which there was a matter in this picture which initially seemed irrelevant to me (When they bravely spoke up about the things adults in charge of the team were doing wrong, they realized that together they were strong!) but I searched the context and learn about it now. Author seeking her targeted readers being children wrote it ambiguously hidden in her words.

However, One thing is still hideous to me that when all those female sports person were making their career and earning name, fame and money, they bore everything bad but suddenly when things became in their favor they start spoiling careers of their board members. If someone is really that esteemed and value their chastity then why they made career by accepting ugly offers? and even if you did accept then why cry later? This becomes habit now all over the world.

Overall, this is a good book as what I mentioned in previous para was my calculation based on reality fact-checks I have seen barely happening wrong towards male counterparts or supporting members of organizations be it in sports of media, cinema and corporate world.
No doubt I appraise Simone Biles for her achievements and she really must have inspired many more such Simones in becoming in future.
