«Swish!» is the children's picture book by Bill Martin Jr. and Michael Sampson, published by Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) in hardcover (32 pages, in English).
Two women's basketball teams, the Cardinals and the Blue Jays, play a close game that is decided in the final seconds. The rhythmic text follows the passes, dribbles, and shots of the players as the score changes hands; the red, blue, and white images capture the energy of the match with close-ups and stands views.
The original edition was released on September 15, 2000, and the illustrations are by Michael Chesworth.
Recommended for early readers aged 4 to 8, especially for reading aloud and for those beginning to take an interest in sports.
