Not coming til Feb 2018 but well worth noting now, this book tells the story of the first woman to run in the Boston Marathon even though it was "against" the rules and she had been denied entry.  Bobbi Gibb loved to run but couldn't join the school track team because it was "against" the rules.  She ran every chance she could and when she learned about the marathon she started to train.
The illustrations add charm to the story with their warm colors and collage feel (and who can resist an old VW bus)  Her white dog companion helps to locate her on a training page and the mile count helps to follow the race when it happens.
An important and inspiring story.
