The L.A. Mermaids performed, emerging out of the water with matching sequined swimsuits, and it was then that synchronized swimming stole her heart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe problem? Her activist mom and professor dad think it's a sport with too much emphasis on looks--on being thin and white. Nat grew up the youngest in a house full of boys, so she knows how to fight for what she wants, using her anger to fuel her. People often underestimate her swimming skills when they see her stomach rolls, but she knows better than to worry about what people think. Sometimes, she feels more like a submarine than a mermaid, but she wonders if she could be both. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBarely Floating\u003c\/i\u003e explores what it means to sparkle in your skin, build community with those who lift you up, and keep floating when waters get rough.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLilliam Rivera\u003c\/b\u003e es una autora galardonada de libros para niños, incluido su último \u003ci\u003eNever Look Back\u003c\/i\u003e, un recuento del mito griego \u003ci\u003eOrfeo y Eurídice\u003c\/i\u003e ambientado en Nueva York por Bloomsbury Publishing.
