Customer Reviews

Nice Story teaching about winning and losing

A nice story about a child going to a swim meet. She is nervous but participates nevertheless. It teaches about winning and losing and with a hopeful note at the end of doing better next time.Especially recommend it for young children joining a swim team or learning to swim.

A great combination of Latino Heritage and Self-Esteem

This book is a definite page turner for all adolescents. It establishes the act of courage and demonstrates a positive result when one stays focused. The illustration is parallel to the vivid narration that is used throughout the text.
