The twentieth child in a close-knit African American family, Wilma learned to walk using exercise, determination and faith. Wilma starred in high school basketball and earned a track-and-field scholarship to college. This inspiring book describes how she competed and won in the Olympics at a time when many thought that running was a sport for men, not women. Krull’s engaging biography is complemented with striking illustrations by Caldecott Medal winner, David Diaz. Yoko Wells, Rosemary 1 2 F Scholastic Inc., 1998 The children in Mrs. Jenkins’ classroom bring different foods to school in their lunches, but they still make fun of Yoko’s lunch. Even when they have an international food day, and children bring enchiladas, Caribbean coconut crisps, Nigerian nut soup, Brazil nuts, Irish stew, potato knishes, mango smoothies, spaghetti, and Boston franks and beans, no one will try Yoko’s sushi. Then Timothy, still hungry, tries a bite. Much to his surprise, he likes it; and later, when he sneaks a coconut crisp into Yoko’s pocket, she discovers she likes it better than her red bean ice cream. This delightful book provides an excellent springboard for talking about dishes from ethnic backgrounds and trying new food. Page 96 UPDATED MICHIGAN TEAM NUTRITION BOOKLIST
