From Andrea Beaty and David Roberts, the #1 bestselling creators of Rosie Revere, Engineer and Ada Twist, Scientist, comes an empowering story about marching to the beat of your own drum and celebrating your unique talents.

Billie Jean Peet, Athlete introduces us to Billie Jean Peet, the middle kid in a house full of music. Her older sister sings, her younger sister drums, and even her mouse Pop knows how to bust a move. But when Billie Jean tries to join in, her notes come out sharp and flat. She just wants to find her niche, but the more she tries, the more she worries she’s not good at anything.

Billie Jean is sure she’s stuck being so-so, but when a mistake on the basketball court flips into an unexpected revelation, she’s able to combine all her interests and create something completely her own.

From author-illustrator team Andrea Beaty and David Roberts comes an unforgettable story about embracing what makes you unique in order to forge your own path.
