Billie Jean!
Billie Jean! by Mara Rockliff, illustrated by Elizabeth Baddeley, is a lively picture book biography of tennis legend Billie Jean King. With energetic text and bold art, it highlights her rise in the sport, her fight for equal prize money, and her historic “Battle of the Sexes” match. Kids see how King used her talent and platform to challenge unfair rules and advocate for women’s rights. Parents and educators appreciate the strong focus on perseverance, fairness, and speaking up, making this a great read-aloud for elementary students during units on sports, gender equity, or modern U.S. history.
