The Sea in Winter by Christine Day

5.0

My mom gifted me this middle grade story two winters ago & I can see why she did. It's a story about processing grief and finding joy agai when your own body acts as the catalyst to the loss of dreams and an envisioned life. The Sea in Winter follows Maisie, a Makah/Piscataway girl whose pursuit of being a ballerina is derailed after a serious knee injury, but it's also about the family that loves her and community care. There were definitely a couple moments where I teared up a bit. Thanks mom!
