Maia and Alex Shibutani (aka the ShibSibs) are two-time Olympic bronze medalists, three-time world medalists, and five-time US National Champions. The siblings made history when they became the first figure skaters of Asian descent to win medals at the Olympics in Ice Dance. They were inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 2023. Off the ice, the ShibSibs are creatives, producers, speakers, and international ambassadors. Their other books for children include the Kudo Kids series and Amazing: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Who Inspire Us All.
