She learned to swim before she could walk. And with swimming came a dream--to compete in the Olympic games. But when war came to Syria, Yusra's home--and her pool--were no longer safe. Yusra and her sister set out on a harrowing journey, crossing the sea in search of safety. In the inspirational tale that follows, Yusra's courageous spirit shines. Crammed on a too-small refugee boat, disaster strikes when the boat's motor breaks! Scared but determined, Yusra plunges into the water and starts swimming. Infused with hope, Yusra's story encourages readers to pursue their own dreams, revealing how she met waves of danger with strength and perseverance. One breath at a time. Readers will dive into this courageous tale of an athlete, refugee, and hero who inspired the world with her resolve to pursue her Olympic dream.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mardini Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library J -- Juvenile New Books Mardini Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mardini Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mardini Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mardini Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
