Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Don't Tell Them I'm a Gymnast is an illustrated chapter book about courage, friendship, confidence, and learning to be proud of who you are.Eleven-year-old Robert Williams is fearless when he's swinging high above the gym floor. As a Level 7 gymnast, he has spent years developing the strength, discipline, and determination required to compete. But at school, Robert keeps one thing secret: he's a gymnast.He worries that other kids will laugh, tease him, or tell him gymnastics is a "girl sport." Then a competition video of Robert on the high bar starts circulating among his classmates, and suddenly the secret he worked so hard to protect is out.What begins with embarrassment and teasing soon becomes an unexpected lesson for Robert-and for the kids around him. When one of his biggest critics agrees to try gymnastics for himself, he discovers that the sport is far harder than it looks. And when Robert suffers a fall during competition in front of the very classmates he feared would judge him, he must decide what courage really means.Filled with humor, friendship, exciting gymnastics moments, and an encouraging message about refusing to hide what makes you unique, Don't Tell Them I'm a Gymnast reminds young readers that strength isn't only about muscles or medals-it's about getting back up and having the confidence to say, "This is who I am."Perfect for readers ages 8-12, young athletes, gymnasts, and any child who has ever felt different or worried about fitting in.
