Loved this! Cute artwork, relatable, and informative. The little team of swimmers was fun and felt like kids.
I adore how this delved a little bit into why “some” Black people in America did not swim/didn’t know how to swim historically. Short answer: segregation. I think kids will root for Clara after seeing her progression throughout the story.
Anywho, this is what my soul craves. More graphic novels and comics with Black leads. The shoutouts to Soul food and West Indian food warmed my heart.
SN: I think it’s so fun that the author’s last name is Christmas.
