Megan Rapinoe

Meet Megan Rapinoe, the world record–breaking soccer player and activist.

Growing up in Redding, California, Megan discovered her calling chasing a ball on the school playground. Even if she didn’t always fit in at school, she was a star on the field—and her teammates thought so too. Her passion, skill, and leadership took Team USA to Olympic Gold and a World Cup victory, while she continues to champion women’s and LGBTQIA+ rights and representation in sports, in the US and across the world.

This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the US co-captain’s life.
