Swim Team: A Graphic Novel By Johnnie Christmas, Johnnie Christmas (Illustrator) Cover Image

Swim Team: A Graphic Novel (Paperback)

By Johnnie Christmas, Johnnie Christmas (Illustrator)
$15.99

I could use a swimming pun about this book “making a splash,” but it would diminish the triumphant celebration that is this book!! Swim Team follows our young protagonist as she starts at a new school and is quite literally pushed into the deep end of the world of swimming, where she discovers an amazing cultural history, inner strength, and lifelong friends. This graphic novel is a charming middle grade story about facing your fears, but it’s also a reclamation of Black swimming, and a gorgeous conversation around the history of swimming for the Black community.

(Graphic Novel Ages 8+) - Reviewed by Iz
