Book description:

A Very Special Athlete tells the story of Adam, a young athlete running in his first big race at Special Olympics. At the beginning of every Special Olympics competition the athletes recite the Special Athlete’s Oath: "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." The decisions Adam makes show how important that oath is to him. Over a million people a year compete in Special Olympics at events in over 150 countries. By 2005, the number of athletes is expected to double.About the AuthorDale Bachman Flynn teaches writing at the University of California, Davis.
