Abby's Asthma and the Big Race

32 pp. | Whitman | March, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-0465-9 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Margeaux Lucas. Abby wants to run in the big race at the town fair. Although others encourage her to enter the pie-eating contest instead, she continues to train, monitoring and treating her asthma with her doctor's help, and wins the race. Though the text is message-y, its lessons about determination and self-confidence are inspiring. Cheerful illustrations show Abby hard at work.
