About This Book
Reach for this biography when your child is facing a significant physical challenge, a discouraging injury, or a moment where their world feels like it has been turned upside down. This chapter book tells the true story of Bethany Hamilton, a talented young surfer who lost her arm in a shark attack but refused to let that end her dreams. It is a story of profound resilience and the power of a positive mindset. While the shark attack is a central event, the narrative focuses on Bethany's incredible grit, her reliance on faith, and the support of her community. It provides a gentle but honest introduction to living with a physical disability for readers aged 6 to 9. Parents will appreciate the way it models persistence and the idea that our identities are shaped by our passions and character rather than our physical limitations.
