Publisher's summary

Aniana del Mar le pertenece al agua tanto como un delfín le pertenece al mar, pero ella y Papi mantienen en secreto sus clases de natación porque Mami no logra superar que el agua le arrebatara a un ser querido.

Un día, una grave enfermedad obliga a Aniana a quedarse en cama. Entonces confiesa lo mucho que le importa nadar. Mami le prohíbe hacerlo, a pesar de que el doctor cree que la natación puede ayudarla a recuperarse. Lo que sigue es la historia de una niña que, como las mareas, debe crecer para encontrar su fuerza.

Este conmovedor libro sobre la discapacidad y las relaciones familiares es un poderoso recordatorio de todos esos pequeños y grandes triunfos que, a lo largo de la vida, nos mantienen a flote.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Beautiful in its honesty and vulnerability, this is a powerful story about dreams and bodily agency that sings from the heart.”—Natalia Sylvester, award-winning author of Breathe and Count Back From Ten

A powerful and expertly told novel-in-verse by about a 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 Ani’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 most—and all the triumphs, big and small, that keep us afloat.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
