Her fearless spirit and innovative water ballet captivate the world, while her bold fashion choices redefine swimwear. Will her courage inspire others to make waves in their own lives?
From the publisher
A fun, feel-good, “underdog” story about a little-known female athlete whose derring-do transformed girls’ sports. Are you brave enough to make a wave? If you love sports and people who aren’t afraid to swim against the tide, Annette Kellerman and her freestyle approach to life will make your heart swell. With strokes of genius, Shana Corey and Edwin Fotheringham pool their talents to create a winning portrait of a little-known athlete, performer, and fashion revolutionary who broke records (and rules!) and dazzled the world with her splashy pluck and courage.
