She learned to swim before she could walk. And with swimming came a dream--to compete in the Olympic games. But when war came to Syria, Yusra's home--and her pool--were no longer safe. Yusra and her sister set out on a harrowing journey, crossing the sea in search of safety. In the inspirational tale that follows, Yusra's courageous spirit shines. Crammed on a too-small refugee boat, disaster strikes when the boat's motor breaks! Scared but determined, Yusra plunges into the water and starts swimming. Infused with hope, Yusra's story encourages readers to pursue their own dreams, revealing how she met waves of danger with strength and perseverance. 600 $a Mardini, Yusra $v Juvenile literature. 650 $a Refugees $z Syria $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 941 $a 7 952 $l DLPA403 $d 20240529130434.0 $m E [SPO] FAR 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011611.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240523010325.0 952 $l VGPC334 $d 20240330010138.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012211.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20240106011033.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20231103011005.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=54BDC0647A0E11EE96FE52224AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
