I found this picture book about female racing legend, Louise Smith, to be interesting and exciting.  The text is descriptive enough without being too detailed for young children.  Race car sounds are sprinkled throughout.  The illustrations are vibrant and action-packed, bringing the story alive.  I also appreciated the Author’s Note in the back of the book that enriches the story with additional facts about Louise, early car racing and other female racers in history.  It is great to add books about strong women in non-traditional roles to our elementary school library.
