Yu-Na Kim with Michelle Kwan book gift

I gave this Michelle Kwan biography to Yu-Na in December 2007 after theTorino GPF gala rehearsal.

The book is "Michelle Kwan (Sports Heroes and Legends)" by Anne E. Hill and is a part of the "Sports Heroes and Legends" series (Lerner Publications) aimed at early Middle School age and older. I knew Yu-Na was studying English and I hoped giving her a relativly easy read about Michelle, who was already an important hero to Yu-Na, would be both inspirational and good English reading fun. Her mother, Mrs. Park, who is also studying English told me she would read it too.

I think it is a nice book for all ages but especially positive and inspirational for young readers and, like I mentioned earlier, an easy read for ESL students.

The series includes Mia Hamm, Sasha Cohen, Jesse Owens, Micky Mantle, Ichiro Suzuki, etc.
