Olympics

In AN OKAPI’S ODE TO THE WINTER OLYMPICS, an okapi recites an ode. But it won’t leave you cold. No way! For it’s both useful and unique. Do you have all the Winter Olympic sports down cold? If not, you’re not alone. Few spectators do. But if you’re tired of being out in the cold, there’s 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 all those different sports, from alpine skiing and biathlon to snowboarding and speed skating, in one whale of a nifty nutshell. It’s quite a feat. But will the okapi’s ode get the gold in the end? Unless you give it the cold shoulder, you’ll be the judge of that!

Skating With the Word is the latest in the award-winning "Skating forward" series, which began with "Skating Forward: Sixteen Amazing Young Women Celebrating Life on Ice." This 2010 release received numerous accolades in the figure skating world and was named one of the top ten 2010 inspirational summer reads by Quest Magazine. Its follow-up release "Still Skating Forward" received the Mom's Choice Awards Silver Medal for best Young Adult Non Fiction and the Purple Dragonfly Children's Book Awards Gold Medal for Best Children's and Young Adult Sports Book.



Now, this latest installment includes interviews with former member of the U.S. Figure Skating Olympic Teams from 1972 to 2010. The book also includes an interview with 1988 silver medalists Elizabeth Manley. Each shares their own personal story about their time at the Games and wonderful photos to accompany these stories. Elizabeth Manley explains her struggle to get to the Games battling many training hardships and then a flu bug and knowing this was her last chance to medal. Karen Courtland and Todd Reynolds talk about the hardships the team endured in 1994 during the Tonya and Nancy mess and how hard it was to keep focused and remember why they were competing with so much media focusing on the U.S. Figure Skating Team. Young Caryn Kadavy achieved her dream of going to the Games and had to drop out of the long program once there as she contacted a severe flu bug. She shares how this event changed her but how much to this day she appreciates the fact that she is an Olympian, as well as so many more wonderful stories!
