Wilma Unlimited: How Wilma Rudolph Became the World's Fastest Woman
This award-winning true story of Black Olympic runner Wilma Rudolph, who overcame childhood polio and eventually went on to win three gold medals, is illustrated by Caldecott medal–winning artist David Diaz.

This dramatic and inspiring true story is illustrated in bold watercolor and acrylic paintings.
