Joseph Schooling's story is a great example of how with hard work, dedication and the faith, support and love of your family one can achieve anything you set out to do.
Writing children's books hasn't been the easiest thing and I've often wanted to give up. To be honest, there were times in that I wasn't even sure if this book was going to be published and for a period it looked like it wasn't going to be, but in the end, the book made it to the finish line.
This is my first children's picture book biography and I hope I did right by the Schoolings. Thank you to My family and my publishing team for encouraging, supporting and putting up with me through this process as they always do; Little Magazine for the preview and of course the Schoolings for being such an inspiration.
