A splashy, rhyming celebration of the joy, freedom, and confidence that comes with swimming.

Award-winning author and poet Marilyn Singer uses the beauty of nature to inspire young readers to find confidence and comfort in the water. As dolphins leap, ducks float, hippos dip, and pups paddle, children will be encouraged to embrace swimming with the same joy and courage shown by their fellow animals.

Perfect for both young swimmers and those just starting to dip their toes in, this book helps children connect with themselves, building self-assurance while fostering a love for moving in the water. A delightful, empowering read for any reader.
