Jim Thorpe's Bright Path

(4) K-3 Illustrated by S. D. Nelson. This conversational picture book biography relates the remarkable story of Native American athlete Jim Thorpe from his early childhood through his teens. Thorpe endured unequal education and subpar living conditions at Indian boarding schools to finally have his astonishing athleticism recognized. The paintings are a little stiff and monotonous. Author's note, chronology.
