I Want to Be a Gold Medalist is all about a kid who gets inspired watching the Olympics. The Olympics is such a magical time. It is also magical for kids as well. It is easy for anyone to get inspired by Olympians!

Danny decides he wants to be a gold medalist and tries many sports to see which ones he likes the best.

The first sport that he tried was Gymnastics. He was watching Gymnastics on the tv and that was what inspired Danny in the first place.

Some of the sports that Danny tries are swimming, gymnastics, basketball, soccer, baseball, tennis, football, hockey, volleyball, and even yoga.

If your kid (boy or girl) loves sports or you want to inspire him or her to take up some active activities, I Want to Be a Gold Medalist might just do the trick.

This book is dedicated to my three year old nephew - I know he will enjoy it. He's a smart 3 year old! So, I believe this book is good for ages 3 - 9, but special for everyone because it is a good story!

I Want to Be a Gold Medalist has some great lessons in it too.

Practice makes perfect
Try and try again
Always keep striving
and...it's ok not to be the best
You can do anything you put your mind to
keep striving

You might find yourself inspired as you read this to your children. It is great for both boys and girls!

Enjoy!

Debbie

In AN OKAPI’S ODE TO ARCHERY, an okapi recites an ode. But it’s not just any old ode. Far from it. It’s an ode that’ll help you make head or tails of a sport that isn’t very well-known. What’s a nock? What’s the fletching? How many rings does a target have? Who can answer such questions? Few can. But fear not! Here’s the good news: being no run of the mill rhyme-writing ruminant, the okapi, in a poem that’s hard to topi, does all of us a favor by putting the sport of archery in one whale of a nifty nutshell. It’s quite a feat. But will the okapi’s ode hit or miss the mark in the end? Well, you’ll just have to be the judge of that!
