Megan Rapinoe (World Soccer Legends)

This middle-grade biography of soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe follows her life from childhood through the 2019 World Cup, using large color photos and bold layouts. It also includes a two-page section about her coming out as gay, stressing that “she was entirely content with the fact” and that this visibility was particularly important at a time when few professional athletes were out. There’s also a mention of her work for LGBTQ rights, a photo of her being  honored by the Los Angeles LGBT Center, and an excerpt from a 2016 piece she wrote for Bleacher Report that included advice about accepting herself as a gay woman, as well as general life advice about being humble, appreciative, and honest about failure. Other pages discuss her wider work for equity and social justice.
