Children's Literature - Kirsten Shaw

After losing the gold medal to the United States women's hockey team at the Nagano, Japan Olympic games, the Canadian women were under pressure to bring home gold from the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic games. After losing to the United States eight times in the pre-Olympic tournament, fans and the media were skeptical of a win. By believing in their ability to play the game they not only won the gold, but also inspired an entire nation of young girls. Nicholson tells the moving story of a group of women that never gave up on themselves, even when everyone else already had. Reviewer: Kirsten Shaw
