"Ages 8-12"--Back cover. A collection of twelve poems that celebrate contemporary women basketball stars, including Sue Bird, Candace Parker, and Brittney Griner.

From the publisher:
Charles R. Smith Jr. brings his high-energy verse to praise a new generation of WNBA basketball stars, paired with dynamic photos of the players in action. Are your moves as smooth as A'ja Wilson's? Do you make the game look effortless like Sue Bird? Are you a complete player like Candace Parker? A scoring machine like Diana Taurasi? Whether it's the towering Brittney Griner, or Elena Delle Donne doing her thing, or Breanna Stewart with her big bag of tricks, Charles R. Smith's indomitable wordplay revels in the superb talents of thirteen of the best female players in basketball. Matched with kinetic, stylized photos of the players, these upbeat poems capture the elite agility and skills the professionals bring to the game. End notes delve into how the author uses a variety of poetic forms and language to spotlight each athlete. Featuring the players: Sue Bird Liz Cambage Elena Delle Donne Skylar Diggins-Smith Brittney Griner Jonquel Jones Nneka & Chiney Ogwumike Candace Parker Breanna Stewart Diana Taurasi Courtney Vandersloot A'Ja Wilson
