Reseña del libro "Susie Tries: Volume 1 (en Inglés)"
Inspired by the real-life story of coach Susan Bradley-Cox, Susie Tries follows an 8-year-old girl as she runs her first triathlon for cancer awareness. Through Susie's example, kids will learn to set -- and achieve -- ambitious goals for themselves, whether they're supporting a cause they admire or participating in their first race.This fun, colorful picture-filled story is more than just a kid's triathlon book -- it's a story of the power of persistence and the joy that comes from reaching a goal.Kids and adults alike will love the upbeat rhymes that make up this story, and everyone will turn the final page learning a vital life lesson about making a difference in their own lives and lives of others.Besides teaching kids about goals, Susie Tries is also a kid's book about cancer. Through the eyes of a young girl wanting to make others aware of this disease, kids will learn their actions can support people with cancer.The author began her journey to fight against cancer by running a marathon and two triathlons, raising $10,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Her inspiration for Susie Tries was her grandfather, who passed away after battling Lymphoma. Triathlons focus on activities children love: swimming, riding a bike, and running. Susie Tries give kids encouragement to run their own race. Because winning is about an accomplishment, not a score, triathlons teach kids self-confidence, motivation, a healthy lifestyle, and compassion for others. Perfect for children between the ages of four and seven, Susie Tries will inspire high goals -- like curing cancer -- and the persistence to succeed.
