Girl Running by Annette Bay Pimentel illustrated by Micha Archer

 Bobbi loves to run.  When she arrives home from school, she sheds her dress, dons pants and sneakers and runs!  The Boston Marathon runs through a nearby town.  As she watches the runners, she decides to train for it.  One problem.  Females are not permitted to run it because at the time people believed women were not "physiologically" able to do so!  Bobbi knows this is incorrect and sets out to prove this theory wrong.

The collages and art in the illustrations is impressive.
