Bookroo's summary
Ursula the bear faces exclusion from a water ballet contest due to a new rule: no bears allowed. With a million-dollar prize at stake, she teams up with other determined animal swimmers at a local pond. Together, they devise a plan to challenge the unfair rule and ensure everyone can participate. Will Ursula and her new friends succeed in making the pool a place of inclusion? Dive into this heartwarming tale of friendship, resilience, and social justice, where humor and adorable animals make a splash in the fight for equality.
From the publisher
Ursula, a bear, and Ricardo, a human, are preparing for the water ballet competition, where the prize is a million dollars! But a new regulation at the community pool - no bears - leaves Ursula cut from the contest. Luckily, she encounters a group of undaunted animal swimmers at a local pond, and Ursula and her new team figure out a way to participate in the competition and make sure everyone is welcome at the pool once and for all. Filled with deadpan humor, adorable animals, and big themes about social justice and inclusion, Splashdance is a fun and splashy summer story with a lot of heart.
