Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Although she may be not be as historically renowned as some of the those profiled in the Black Americans of Achievement series, there's no doubt Banks has a high recognition factor with young people. Levin takes pains to make sure that the supermodel Banks is also seen as a real person, one who was awkward and uncoordinated as a child, who was sometimes called "Froggy" because of the warts on her hands, and who, in her adolescent years, was so tall and thin she was nicknamed Olive Oyl. The book chronicles Banks' entry into the world of modeling, her rise to fame, and her desire to give something back by instituting scholarships and becoming a role model. A solid biography with plenty of black-and-white photos to satisfy teen interest. Chronology, bibliography, and Internet resources appended. Ilene Cooper

This review is from: Tyra Banks (Black Americans of Achievement) (Paperback)
This book is was very interesting. It told of lot of interesting things that tyra does does besides modeling. She is one of my favorite models. I think that is she very different from the other models out there and will always be.
