Description

An everyday visit to the pool transforms into an unforgettable celebration of the water in this remarkable picture book from Jacqueline Davies, the award-winning author of children s classic The Lemonade War, and Sonia Sánchez, the illustrator of Meg Medina s Evelyn Del Rey Is Moving Away.A day at the community pool is full of unwater magic–dunking and diving with friends; somersaulting, walking on your hands, and bursting up through the surface like a tortoise. But when a thunderstorm comes and a little brother ventures too close to the pool s edge, will our main character be quick enough and brave enough to save the day?In this energetic read-aloud, the words swim off the pages as the underwater world comes to life through lush, dynamic illustrations and visual poetry. Journey to an imaginative world where, always and forever, bubbles . . . rise . . . UP!* Junior Library Guild Selection * Booklist 2021 Editor s Choice: Books for Youth *
