Summary
  • "An uplifting picture book biography about the unwavering bond between sisters and tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams"--
  • In 1989, Venus and Serena Williams faced off in their first tennis tournament. They went on to take the tennis world by storm, achieved everything possible in the sport, and stood by one another through thick and thin. Leslie takes young readers from their beginnings on a crumbling Compton tennis court to their shining achievements, and shows us that despite being served some the most challenging hardships in life Venus and Serena always continued to swing back stronger. -- adapted from jacket
