A Dive into the Blue

"First, there is the blue that stretches in front of you . . ." As a small girl stands at the edge of a diving board, she fears the drain at the bottom of the pool will swallow her up. Determined to learn how to dive, she musters up her courage by imagining other possibilities of what she might find under the surface, like mermaid mazes and lantern fish. Through lyrical text and enchanting illustrations, A Dive into the Blue explores a child's imagination as she learns to overcome her fears. Believing in herself, and not the shadows in the water, might be just what she needs to take the leap.
