Two girls in Bolivia, with a passion for wrestling, beat the odds in
this new empowering picture book
Noelia and Wara are two girls who live in the city of El Alto, Bolivia.
Wrestling is their passion. They are often told that "wrestling is for
boys." But despite this resistance, every Sunday they proudly put on the
traditional costume of the Cholitas, the Aymara women of Bolivia, and
head to the ring, where they would fight with courage and defy all the
odds stacked against them.
The stories told in the Against All Odds picture book series are true
stories of brave boys and girls from different parts of the world, who,
with their small everyday actions, beat the odds and achieve something
great. The series is intended to promote diversity and acceptance by
exposing children to kids' stories from faraway places facing unique
situations or overcoming prejudice.
