Book Synopsis
Dive into a funny story about conquering your fears with a little help from loved ones.

Nelly has a brand new swimsuit, and she loves it. She looks fabulous, so she wears it all the time-- while riding her bike, eating at a fancy restaurant, playing basketball . . . . She even wears it to bed.

But there''s one place Nelly won''t take her lovely new suit: swimming. No way! She will not get in the water. But Grandma, a swimming champion, has other ideas. And with Grandma''s loving help, Nelly gives it a try-- dipping one toe in at a time, blowing bubbles, and learning to float.

Soon Nelly is on the way to becoming a champion swimmer herself!

This sweet story about trying new things encourages young readers to take the plunge- and find new ways to have fun! Valeri Gorbachev''s signature illustrations are cozy and warm, making this a gentle, encouraging read for any young ones anxious about new experiences.
