"This simple and sincere tale of working up courage to face fears
makes quite a splash." -- Kirkus Reviews
Jabari is definitely ready to jump off the diving board. He's finished
his swimming lessons and passed his swim test, and he's a great jumper,
so he's not scared at all. "Looks easy," says Jabari, watching the other
kids take their turns. But when his dad squeezes his hand, Jabari
squeezes back. He needs to figure out what kind of special jump to do
anyway, and he should probably do some stretches before climbing up onto
the diving board. In a sweetly appealing tale of overcoming your fears,
Gaia Cornwall captures a moment between a patient and encouraging father
and a determined little boy you can't help but root for.
