Run and be honored: Jesse Owens by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

Ms. Sancez Vegara does a beautiful job telling the story of Jesse Owens.  While reading this book, young readers will learn about Owens’s many incredible athletic achievements while also learning about  the racism and hardships that he endured.  This entry is most highly recommended.  As always, the illustrations enhance the text.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses! View all posts by joycesmysteryandfictionbookreviews
