Duke Kahanomoku by Laurie Calkhoven
In this month of fives, I'm celebrating my FIFTH book for Simon Spotlight's YOU SHOULD MEET series.
Duke was a full blooded Hawaiian who grew up on the beach. He took part in four Olympics and broke world records in swimming in 1912 and 1920. Along the way he showed the east coast and Australia what surfing was and became the "Father of Modern Surfing."
And I'm on deadline, so that's all folks.
