Beyond the Game is a new nonfiction chapter book series about athletes who have stepped up beyond sports to make a difference in the world, from acclaimed author Andrew Maraniss and illustrator DeAndra Hodge. This is the story of WNBA star Maya Moore and her social justice work. Before she became one of the most famous basketball players on the planet, before she began speaking out for prison reform, Maya Moore was just a kid. In this chapter book biography by acclaimed author Andrew Maraniss, readers learn more about the life and work of Maya Moore--from growing up with a single mother in Jefferson City, Missouri, to her journey to becoming a star player at UCONN and the WNBA, to her social justice fighting for prison reform and speaking up for Black Lives Matter. While known as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Maya Moore has changed the world beyond sports. Complete with black-and-white illustrations throughout, statistics, resources, and ways for kids to make a difference on their own--Beyond the Game is a giftable and inspirational series for every reader.
