America's Champion Swimmer: Gertrude Ederle

I bought this book to read to my students as part of our reading program. They loved it, my principal loved it and I was pleasantly surprised by how interesting it was.

A delightful account of an amazing American. The illustrations are striking and perfectly complement the biography. An ideal example for my third grade students of courage, determination, perseverance, and goodness. Ederle endured and overcame hardships rather than letting them overtake her.

for my classroom; great story

My grandchildren love this book! One of the girls has told everyone the story. She is so inspired that someone who was once afraid of the water became such a great swimmer!

Fabulous book. Teaches perseverance.

Excellent book for kids about setting and meeting goals !

It’s a great book, the story is however a bit long

great gift for young girls
