"Shabash!" by Ann Walsh is a heartwarming story that follows eleven-year-old Taya, who is determined to secure a spot on her school’s diving team despite facing numerous challenges.

The narrative explores themes of resilience, family, and self-acceptance, as Taya learns to embrace her passion for diving and confront her fears. Through her journey, she discovers the importance of believing in herself and the power of perseverance. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
