4 ⭐This is sweet. It‘s about a little boy who fears the water and his grandma makes a promise: He learns to swim, she learns to swim. It also gets into the history of blacks swimming in the US and why there‘s such a disparity between who can and who can‘t swim. The information in the back is a great addition to the story. This is a little long for a story time but for a lesson book, it‘s fantastic and the colorful illustrations are perfect match.
