About the Book

Meet fifteen remarkable athletes who use adaptive equipment in this beautiful and truth-telling picture book. A downhill skier whose blindness has sharpened her communication skills. An adaptive surfer who shreds waves while sitting down. A young man who excels at wheelchair motocross--but struggles with math. Tenacious tells their stories and more, revealing the daily joys and challenges of life as an athlete with disabilities. These competitors have won gold medals, set world records, climbed mountain peaks, claimed national championships, and many more extraordinary achievements. Get to know them in Tenacious!

Review :
* "This upbeat offering promises profiles of 15 disabled athletes but delivers even more. . . Readers will come away with an enhanced understanding of the scope of adaptive sports (BMX, surfing, CrossFit) and great respect for these dedicated, tenacious athletes." -- Booklist, starred review "This is precisely the book I dreamed of growing up as a young girl with a disability. It shows what is possible to achieve and acknowledges the very real hard points, while fostering and supporting healthy, positive disability identity development." -- Dr. Anjali Forber-Pratt, Paralympic medalist and disability activist "As a young girl growing up with a disability, I needed a book like TENACIOUS. The messages I received from the world were largely negative. I'm so grateful that through these athletes in this book, disabled children and their families will learn that they can be disabled AND live a life full of joy." -- Stephanie Wheeler, Paralympic gold medalist, Head coach "MBD's expressive, energetic portraits of athletes in motion, overlaid by brief, italicized rhyming text, nearly fill each single-page profile. . . Each spread provides more biographical details and includes quotes from the subjects, who share their daily joys and challenges. . . An eclectic, encouraging lineup." -- Kirkus Reviews "[An] intersectionally inclusive portrait of the ever-growing world of adaptive sports." -- Publishers Weekly "An eye-opening look at disabled athletes who turn the stigma of disability on its head. Libraries looking to add titles on adaptive equipment, games and events that are inclusive, or robust bios of great athletes will find this worth buying." -- School Library Journal Bookstagang Best Books of the Year 2023 - Bookstagang CCBC Choices Recommended 2024 - Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Delaware Diamonds Awards Nominee 2024 - Diamond State Literacy Association Eureka! Nonfiction Children's Book Award Honor 2023 - California Reading Association Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection Keystone to Reading Book Award Nominee 2024 - Keystone State Literacy Association Notable Books for a Global Society Winner 2024 - International Literacy Association (ILA)
