Babe Conquers the World: The Legendary Life of Babe Didrikson Zaharias by Sandra Neil Wallace, Rich Wallace
4.0
Babe is a good read. Right away I could not believe that I was never exposed to her and her story. Having two daughters of my own I think she is one that my daughters need to read about when they get older.
The book reads very easy. I really enjoyed the visuals and pictures along the way. In addition, there are little snippets of historical events and other little gems to help bring the story into context. It is hard to believe how limited women had it not even a hundred years ago. It is amazing how much change has happened since then.
Her journey is a fast paced, hard driven lifestyle that ended way too short. Anyone who has been asked to fly with Amelia Earhart, play golf with Babe Ruth, and break the barriers and records she accomplished should be known. This is a story for both kids and adults. As an educator her story would be an easy way to teach history with students who don't like history.
