| book description |

Pura BelprÃ© Author Honor Award ** Four starred reviews!** A powerful and expertly told novel-in-verse by about aÂ 12-year-old Dominican American swimmer who is diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis by an award-winning poet. Aniana del Mar belongs in the water like a dolphin belongs to the sea. But she and Papi keep her swim practices and meets hidden from Mami, who has never recovered from losing someone she loves to the water years ago. That is, until the day Aniâ€™s stiffness and swollen joints mean she can no longer get out of bed, and Ani is forced to reveal just how important swimming is to her. Mami forbids her from returning to the water but Ani and her doctor believe that swimming along with medication will help Ani manage her disease. What follows is the journey of a girl who must grieve who she once was in order to rise like the tide and become the young woman she is meant to be. Aniana del Mar Jumps In is a poignant story about chronic illness and disability, the secrets between mothers and daughters, the harm we do to the ones we love the mostâ€”and all the triumphs, big and small, that keep us afloat. ""Beautiful in its honesty and vulnerability, this is a powerful story about dreams and bodily agency that sings from the heart.â€â€”Natalia Sylvester,Â award-winning author of Breathe and Count Back From Ten
