About the Author

Esther Porter grew up in North Dakota, where she and her best friend had enough small animals to open a zoo. She is the author of a number of science-y books including What's Sprouting in My Trash? A Book about Composting and Sun Power: A Book about Renewable Energy. Her only animals now are Chopstick the angry cat, Georgie the confused cat, and Samantha Turkey Porter the slobbery pup.

Reviews

In this collection, women sports stars are given the spotlight they deserve. . . .It's refreshing to see books about women athletes that focus on their feats, not on their appearance or personal lives. An excellent first purchase.-- "School Library Journal"
