Book Description
Many kinds of animals live in Earth's oceans, and many of them have fins and flippers. These special adaptations have developed over the course of many thousands of years. They help animals maneuver through the waters in which they live and hunt. Penguins have flippers to make them move quickly through the water to catch fish to eat. Some fish use their fins to move at rapid speeds to catch their prey. This book explains flipper and fin anatomy and describes how these adaptations help the animals that have them. Conservation issues and threats to these animals' survival are also highlighted.

Book Description
Tera Bradham was born to prove people wrong. The fastest swimmer her age in the United States by age ten, many believed “Tera the Terror” was destined for the Olympics. Her fiercely competitive spirit and unmatched intensity knew no limits until Tera suffered a sudden, devastating shoulder injury that derailed her promising career. Although she trusted in God, she also wrestled with doubts of his goodness throughout subsequent years of misdiagnoses, chronic pain, and crippling disappointment. Her injury finally forced her to fully surrender to God. Then her miracle came, or so she thought. Her shoulder was successfully reconstructed, and after two more years of grueling recovery, Tera found the courage to swim again and pursue her dreams with renewed faith. Swimming for Freedom tells the story of Tera’s unconventional comeback and shows that through God, all things are possible. What started as an Olympic dream ended in her true miracle: the freedom of a life in Christ. Tera’s story will inspire you to rise up, dream again, and fight for his calling on your life.
