Overview
A joyful celebration of growing up, and the special bond between a girl and her aunt who visit the pool together every summer.
Today Peanut and her Auntie are going to the pool. Peanut’s stomach does excited and nervous summersaults as she thinks about swimming. Last year she was stuck in the shallow end. This year, Peanut can swim all the way across. But there’s still the diving board and the backstroke to tackle. And lots of cannonballs and handstands to practice! Every summer brings something new, but Auntie is there at every moment.
With gentle lyricism from a debut author and absorbing illustrations from an acclaimed illustrator, this picture book is for anyone looking for a read with the warmth of a perfect summer day.
