Summary
A small child learning to swim becomes familiar with the water through quiet lakes, friendly rivers, and family storytime before attempting a bigger body of water.
"The big blue sea is so loud and so wide. The quiet lake is so deep and so cold. The rushing river, filled with friendly fish, isn't so scary. But playing in the water still doesn't feel right. Mama says there is no rush. The water will wait. Maybe next time? Emily Joof's lyrical story reminds us that progress can be gradual, while Matilda Ruta's bold and dynamic illustrations bring the journey to life with warmth and vibrancy. This is the perfect book for any child who is feeling nervous about new experiences." -- Book jacket
