(3) 1-3 Gym Shorts series. Illustrated by Simon Gane. Jazz's father is her biggest fan. But when he gets too invested in her performance on the track team (e.g., contradicting the coach, challenging the ref) Jazz looks for ways to get him to cool his temper. The tale's backstory--widowed African American father must raise his daughter alone--is compelling. Droll black-and-white illustrations support the story.
