Description
I'm Ready for Swimming
I'm getting ready to learn how to swim on my own... This adorable story describes the apprehension and elation of beginning swimming lessons without a parent in the water.
I'm getting ready to learn how to swim... This adorable story describes the heartening apprehension and elation of beginning swimming lessons.
The I'm Ready series is a collection of fun, bright board books about exciting milestones and events in many children's lives. These gorgeous board books are designed as handy explainers for children that parents can trust, with a look the whole family will love.
The I'm Ready series serves as a stepping stone between first concept books (numbers, alphabet, colours, animals, etc.) and longer narrative picture books. They are ideal for children ages 3 to 4.
The series is illustrated by Jedda Robaard, a beloved Australian author and illustrator. These gorgeous books will win over parents and children alike with Jedda's adorable illustrations, full of familiar Australian scenes, animals, and flora. The books are about key experiences in a child's life, whether it's feeling anxious about learning to swim or getting ready to celebrate with family.
