"The cool on my toes felt kind of nice. As Mama held me tight, I thought: Maybe Ill go in next time."
A childs first encounter with the sea leaves them feeling small and scared. What could be hiding in the dark depths below? When the family visits a lake and a river, the childs fear of water gradually starts to ebb as curiosity begins to flow. But playing in the water still doesnt feel right. Mama says there is no rush to try swimming, and that the water will wait. Maybe next time?
This gently powerful story about taking your time and listening to yourself is now available in paperback for the first time. Lyrical words from Emily Joof remind us that its okay for progress to be gradual, while bold and dynamic illustrations from Matilda Ruta bring the journey to life with warmth and vibrancy. A perfect book for any child who is feeling nervous about new experiences.
