Swim Team

Birthday girl was excited to receive this gift. I will update this review as I get info from her and two older sisters.

Bree and her father move to Florida, where Bree is forced to take a swim class at her new middle school, even though she doesn't swim. But faced with potentially failing the class, Bree learns how to swim and shows incredible talent; she joins the school's swim team. What follows is an exploration of friendship and family, with a powerful yet age-appropriate discussion of wealth gaps and the history of racism that contributed to many black Americans not knowing how to swim. Christmas' book is perfect for readers ages 8 and up, with beautiful images, a moving tale, and an honest exploration of how our circumstances shape us but don't control us.

This book is amazing. Great story for student athletes.

Good reading for my granddaughter, and she loves it.
