Title Name: Meet Chloe Kim: Snowboarding Superstar
Author Name: Goldstein, Margaret J.
Review: How many languages does Chloe Kim speak? Which television shows has she been on? Readers will earn the answers to these questions and more as they page through this title about the Olympic medal-winning snowboarder. Four brief chapters detail the span of Kim’s career from her start in the sport through her training and Olympic career to her participation in other athletic competitions. The author also touches upon Kim’s college career, how she has handled fame, and her efforts to balance her career and personal life. An abundance of full-color photographs and illustrations grab attention and break up the text. Sidebars such as Super Sports Scoop provide quick facts on career-related and personal achievements. Kim is shown at various media and fan appearances. Copious backmatter at the end of the book includes career stats, a glossary, source notes, a bibliography, and an index. This is a solid purchase for libraries looking to enhance their biography collections, especially in need of titles about contemporary or minority women athletes. True kid appeal will have this one flying off the shelf.
