Game Changers: The Story of Venus and Serena Williams

Long before they became two of the greatest players in tennis history, Venus and Serena Williams were sisters practicing on public courts with their father, rising early and training hard day after day. This picture book biography follows the two from childhood, when they were each other's closest friend and fiercest practice partner, through the hard work and family support that carried them to professional tennis and to championships around the world. Along the way, Lesa Cline-Ransome shows how the sisters stayed close even as they faced each other in some of the biggest matches of their careers. James E. Ransome's paintings capture the energy of the game and the warmth of the sisters' bond. The book was a Texas Bluebonnet Award nominee.
