About This Book
Jabari has finished his swimming lessons, passed his swim test, and is ready to jump off the diving board - or so he says. As he watches other kids take their turns, he finds reasons to stall, but with gentle encouragement from his patient dad, he works up the courage to take the leap. Gaia Cornwall's warm illustrations perfectly capture the mix of fear and determination.
Why We Love This
Every child knows what it feels like to be scared of something new, and the way Jabari's dad gently supports him without pushing is such a beautiful model of parenting patience.
