Welcome to Litsy!

I just finished rewatching TED LASSO and it left me in the mood for MORE SPORTS. I‘ve had ON THE ICE lingering on my Kobo for ages since I wasn‘t wild about another of Amy Aislin‘s books, and I figured I might as well give it a try while I‘m in this mood. It‘s much sparklier than the other one! I do find the excessive American college talk grating, as always (and especially from non-American authors), but the character dynamics are great. Yay!

“I can dream big too.“

This was a great story to learn more about the famous olympic gymnast Simone Biles. I learned about her background and where she grew up and how she got started into gymnastics. This is a great book to have in your classroom for any student that is interested in learning more about gymnastics and Simone Biles. It is important to have a genre of different books in your classrooms and books based on different topics.

This book was a great story of the one and only gymnast Simone Biles and her life story. I think this story was great, and really gave me more detail and facts behind who Simone Biles was and how she got started into her career.

This book could be an inspiration to young girls about dreaming, and then chasing your dreams and working towards success.

This reminds me of the recent movie that came out. But the illustrations in this book were awesome and it was nice to hear the story in a different way.
