Diana Taurasi (WNBA Superstars)

This chapter book about the WNBA superstar covers her early years, college career, WNBA career with the Phoenix Mercury, and time on Team USA. We see her becoming a record-setting scorer, but also battling injuries and the low pay for WNBA players. While the book does not discuss her queer identity per se, one sidebar notes that she fell in love with fellow Mercury player Penny Taylor, whom she married, and that they two had their first child in 2018.

With extensive photographs, sidebars, quiz questions, a glossary, additional resources, and more, it’s an engaging learning resource.
