Get Set! Swim!

32 pp. | Lee | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-880000-66-0
(4) K-3 Jessinia, her mother, and her brother take a bus from their urban community center to an affluent suburban school for Jessinia's first swim meet. Jessinia calls upon her mother's stories of Puerto Rico for inspiration and wins her last race. Somewhat static watercolors illustrate this story about competition, team spirit, and self-confidence.
