"Raymond's Run" by Toni Cade Bambara is a story about a young girl named Squeaky, who is fiercely proud of her running abilities and dedicated to her brother Raymond, who has a developmental disability. As the annual May Day race approaches, Squeaky trains hard while also caring for Raymond, who runs alongside her during practice. Throughout the story, Squeaky learns about competition, friendship, and the importance of self-identity. Ultimately, she discovers that winning isn't everything and that supporting others, including her brother, brings joy and fulfillment beyond trophies and accolades.
