I bought this book (Freddie's First Race) for my daughter but read it myself first. We both looooove it. Well written Renaee. Very reminiscent of our days in Jamaica on our various track teams. This book is great as a gift to any child...not just one who is inclined to sports...as it shows how hard work, a great support system and never giving up can reap success and great rewards. I loved the great compost heap as well. Great job.
