Mo Farah, the Boy Who Ran to Be Free

From the prolific Pulitzer Prize–nominated Muslim reporter Dr. Seema Yasmin comes the second book in the exciting nonfiction Muslim Mavericks chapter book series, about Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah.

From Somalia to the Olympic arena, there’s no distance Mo can’t go!

At the age of eight, Mo Farah and his family moved across the world from Somalia to London. It was difficult starting over in a new country, especially since he spoke very little English. But fortunately for Mo, running is a language everyone understands.

Once he started, he never stopped—smashing records and winning championships. Now, having won gold at four Olympics and earned six World titles, he is the most successful male track distance runner ever!
