The Untold Truth Of Jordan Chiles

It's always incredible to watch an athlete excel, but Jordan Chiles' path throughout her career has paid off in a touching way. Her mom, Gina Chiles, took the opportunity in 2018 to write a children's book inspired by her daughter; it was published in February 2020 and is entitled, "Dream Big Little Chick," as noted by NBC Sports. What is even more touching about the book is that it was illustrated by Jordan's sister-in-law. 

Jordan's mom is not only a parent, but a grandparent to six grandchildren; when asked what motivated her to write the book, she shared that she wanted something to read to her grandkids — and a book that she had written herself. "It was based on Jordan, but I was really thinking of little kids that had their own dream," Gina explained. "Especially when things didn't always seem like it could happen." 

In addition to the book being based on Jordan, the front cover includes a phrase that is meaningful to the athlete: "Believe in the power of your dreams." When Jordan heard about the project, she was "flattered," and her mom cried the first time she read the story aloud.
