Game Changers: The Story of Venus and Serena Williams
by Lesa Cline-Ransome (Author) and James E. Ransome (Illustrator)
Booktalk: Venus and Serena Williams. Two peas in a pod. Best friends. Sisters.

At age fourteen, Venus played her first professional match. Three years later, it was Serena’s turn. It wasn’t easy. Some tennis fans cheered for these two fresh faces, while those who were unhappy to see two black girls competing in a nearly all-white sport booed and taunted them. But they didn’t let it stop them.
