LaDainian Tomlinson
As a football-crazed kid growing up in Texas, LaDainian Tomlinson (LT) idolized Dallas Cowboy star running back Emmitt Smith. When LT was 13 years old, he got the thrill of a lifetime when he got to meet Emmitt at a football camp. It was a special moment that would stay with him for the rest of his life. Today, LT is one of the premier running backs in the NFL. He knows that kids look up to him, so he tries to be what Emmitt was for him—a hero.
In LaDainian Tomlinson, young readers will follow LT’s amazing football career and also discover how he’s made a difference in kids’ lives through his Touching Lives Foundation. Large, full-color photos of LT in action and engaging text will keep readers turning the pages for more.
