Sixteen Years in Sixteen Seconds: The Sammy Lee Story

32 pp. | Lee | April, 2005 | Trade ISBN 1-58430-247-X $16.95
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Dom Lee. Korean-American Sammy Lee (twelve years old in 1932) practiced diving so diligently that he caught the eye of a diving coach. Meanwhile, Sammy's father was pressuring him to become a doctor, but eventually Sammy achieved both goals: in 1948, Dr. Sammy Lee won bronze and gold Olympic medals. With their textured effect, the scratchboard illustrations convey immediacy.
