Sky Brown was just four years old when her father posted a recording of her skateboarding to social media. The video went viral. Soon, the young girl began competing in skateboarding competitions around the world, often against skaters much bigger and older than she was. She also began winning. And winning. When Great Britain assembled its first Olympic skateboarding team, Sky was named part of it. She became the nation’s youngest summer Olympic medalist, and a worldwide favorite. Part of the Women Blazing the Trail series, Sky Brown, Skateboarder tells the story of a young woman determined to reach the top of a sport long dominated by men.

Women Blazing the Trail Series
From U.S. Supreme Court justices to NASA astronauts, women have broken down many barriers to achieve success in professions historically dominated by men. Women Blazing the Trail is an inspiring book series that tells the stories of women, such as movie director Greta Gerwig and NFL coach Jen Welter, who have helped forge the path for other women and girls with similar goals. With striking color photographs, a fun Find Out More section, and a useful index, this series discusses six inspiring women. They encountered obstacles along their way. But each one refused to let the barriers she faced stop her from succeeding—and blazing the trail for others.
