(3) K-3 Who Did It First? series. Illustrated by Ebony Glenn. "They were two of the strongest and most successful athletes in the world, but they were also Black." This picture book biography follows the Williams sisters' careers, from childhood training to the tournament circuit to world championships. The admiring text and digital illustrations both emphasize the sisters' close relationship, even as rivals on the tennis court. Together, the Williams sisters faced challenges, including a family tragedy and overt racism, head on. A suggested reading list, timeline, and list of sources are appended.
