But as readers will see in this first-ever illustrated picture book about Nadia’s journey to Olympic gold, the road from small-town girl to world-class athlete was full of many imperfect moments. Expert illustrations that capture the energy and fluidity of Nadia's exuberant gymnastic routines and referential back matter round out this inspirational story of determination and overcoming adversity. A perfect 10. Review: Super Inspiring! - My daughter was only 2 when we first read this book. It inspired a love of gymnastics in her and especially in Nadia! She finally just started classes and was so excited to “flip around bars” like her hero! I’m pretty sure I cried the first 5 times we read it, at least—and I’m not usually like that! It’s such a powerful story. I was a gymnast myself and had forgotten her story and the way it’s told here is dramatic in the best way, and totally appropriate for the youngest readers. Review: Uplifting story of a young athlete perfect for all ages - I was so happy to share this inspirational story of Nadia with my sons. We really enjoyed reading it over and over, and they were as excited by her success story as I had been while watching her perform decades ago. I loved Nadia's energy and her youthful impatience to get things moving. Reading this book makes you want to go out and play! I like to share interesting biographies and life lessons about perseverance; this story is perfect and the engaging colorful illustrations are delightful. This book is our new favorite and one I will share with friends and family - as well as my pick to read to my son's class as mystery reader :) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #705,228 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #91 in Children's Olympics Books #130 in Children's Gymnastics Books (Books) #166 in Children's Winter Sports Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 330 Reviews | ## Images ![Nadia: The Girl Who Couldn’t Sit Still - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VjZhXov4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Inspiring! *by M***7 on July 19, 2022* My daughter was only 2 when we first read this book.

We really enjoyed reading it over and over, and they were as excited by her success story as I had been while watching her perform decades ago. I loved Nadia's energy and her youthful impatience to get things moving. Reading this book makes you want to go out and play!

This book is our new favorite and one I will share with friends and family - as well as my pick to read to my son's class as mystery reader :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful book that appeals to two generations *by C***I on June 10, 2016* I love this new book about one of my all time, heroes, Nadia! As a child of the 1970s, I remember her flying around on the uneven bars - defying gravity - and wanting to be just like her. Now, as the mother of a young gymnast, it is great to be able to share with her this story of someone so pivotal in her sport, and in my own childhood. The messages expressed by the book - that young Nadia channeled her natural energy and abilities into athletics, but that she still had to work hard and overcome setbacks to win those perfect scores - are important ones in today's highly competitive world of youth sports. Great timing with the Rio Olympics around the corner! The words are engaging and easy for young readers to grasp, and the illustrations are beautiful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/29088621-nadia-the-girl-who-couldn-t-sit-still](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/29088621-nadia-the-girl-who-couldn-t-sit-still) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-01*
