As I read through Divot and Swish in Costa Rica I knew the book would also make the perfect Valentines Day Gift. Which is why you will find Divot and Swish in Costa Rica inside our Valentines Day Gift Guide 2021.
I reads through Divot and Swish in Costa Rica first and liked how the Author teaches you its okay to fail as long as you try. Then I learned how to Surf even though in Texas it will not happen.
Charlie and I can pick up a old Surfboard at a Thrift Store and practice for the day we get to Hawaii. Which might not happen but a girl can dream can’t she.
Then I had Charlie read Divot and Swish in Costa Rica. Charlie said he liked the storyline a lot. As we talked Charlie said he wanted to draw a new adventure for Divot & Swish to go on which we can do in our Homeschool Art Class.
Before I knew it Charlie was reading Divot and Swish in Costa Rica to David. Then they created Lesson Plans and a Spelling Test for my niece and nephew once Charlie reads Divot and Swish in Costa Rica to them.
For our familyDivot and Swish in Costa Rica was a huge hit. The book allowed us to study a Costa Rica a State Charlie and I hadn’t had the opportunity to study.
My family can’t wait to purchase other books about Divot and Swish if there is others to learn about there adventures and the Countries they visit as well as the lessons they teach us.

Divot and Swish in Costa Rica Promotes Positive Impact of Sports
Oklahoma City, OK, January 15, 2021 — Your children can travel the globe, meet new people, learn about various cultures and experience exciting adventures with Divot and Swish, the relatable stars of the new children’s book series, Divot and Swish in Costa Rica.
Divot is a golf-loving character who appreciates meeting new people from different places and cultures. Her friend Swish is a basketball fanatic who is a little shy, but always loves trying other sports and activities.
In each adventure, the duo meets a new friend who introduces them to a sport they’ve never played before, and they experience the many emotions that accompany the conquering of these challenges.
Through support and encouragement from their friend, Divot and Swish are able to gain valuable skills and develop “superpowers” through playing sports.
“With all of the negativity in our world, Divot and Swish bring positivity, an openness to learning, and a fresh look at the opportunity to use sport and physical activity to help make the world a better place,” says author Beth Brown, Ph.D., who is passionate about positive youth development through sport.
The first in the series, Divot and Swish in Costa Rica, takes readers to the tropics where the duo meets Sammy the Surfer, who takes them through the lush jungle to a beach-side town where he’ll teach them how to surf.
Like many children would be, Divot and Swish are nervous about surfing and afraid of what could happen if they fall off their surfboards. They follow Sammy’s lead and work to learn how to stand, balance and paddle.
Apprehensive and unsure of their abilities, Divot and Swish watch Sammy take on the waves before trying it themselves. Will they find their superpower of courage so they can have an incredible adventure surfing with the fish?
While the series is written primarily for elementary school-aged children from 5 to 11, kids of all ages will identify with the inspirational characters, appreciate the fun-filled adventures, and enjoy learning about new places and activities.
Divot and Swish in Costa Rica also gives parents, caregivers and educators an opportunity to intentionally and positively impact the young people in their lives through sharing the stories of Divot and Swish.
