Molly Loves to Move by Mary Morice
A children’s picture book about a girl who loves physical movement and is introduced to a gymnastics club for the first time. Mary Morice is very expert in all aspects of non-competitive Gymnastics.
Well done!
It’s available online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Chapters and more. It could be used as a club fundraiser.
