As a baby, Jessica was adopted from a Russian orphanage. Her legs were amputated below the knee when she was 18 months old. Despite this, Jessica has become a world-class swimmer and one of the most decorated athletes of all time. Dive into this illustrated picture book based on Jessica's story, where a mermaid with no tail decides she wants to compete in the Mermaid Games. The other mermaids make fun of her for being different. But her adoptive turtle parents are supportive and encouraging, and her shark coach, Phelpsy, teaches her to swim using her arms. The mermaid trains hard, maintains a good attitude, and eventually wins the games. 541 $d 20231010. 650 $a Swimmers $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Swimming for people with disabilities $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Mermaids $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Individual differences $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Adoptees $v Juvenile fiction. 650 7 $a Contests $v Juvenile fiction. 655 7 $a Sea fiction. 655 7 $a Picture books. $2 fast 700 $a Phelps, Michael, $d 1985- 700 $a O'Callaghan, Airin. 941 $a 5 952 $l GQPB641 $d 20240410010227.0 952 $l VWPC964 $d 20240116010741.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20240111055736.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20231118010414.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20231017011327.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9E9E205C6CB211EE935F82A422ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
