Nina is 18 in the mid-1990s. She’s trying to find her place in a world constantly throwing her differences back at her face. Nina was born in a multi-culltural and multi-ethnic family: her father is black Muslim of Gambian origins and her mother is of Polish-Jewish descent. But Nina will turn her differences into strength as she embraces track and field. She runs, not to escape reality, but to be the champion of her own life.   Adapted from the best selling French semi-biographical novel by Rachel Khan, “Les grandes et les petites choses” and drawn by cartoonist Aude Massot, this book will definitely prove you that no challenge is too big, regardless of where you’re from or how different your family is!
