(3) K-3 Illustrated by Edwin Fotheringham. Corey describes how Annette Kellerman overcame physical obstacles then went on to swim with grace and endurance--and design bathing suits. Fotheringham's illustrations, bright marine colors accented by oranges and yellows, create a sense of Kellerman's joy in the water. Extensive author's notes add detail; documentation of source materials is appended.
