Saturday Is Swimming Day

Saturday Is Swimming Day

New things can be scary â€” but as one endearing little girl discovers, itâ€™s perfectly fine to take your time.

Swimming lessons are on Saturdays, and every Saturday one little girl has a stomachache. When she gets to the pool itâ€™s loud, the floor is wet and slippery, and her swim cap is too tight. Her swimming instructor, Mary, says itâ€™s OK to sit by the edge if she doesnâ€™t want to get in the water this week. The next Saturday the girl has a stomachache again, but with Maryâ€™s gentle encouragement, she eventually manages to make it into the pool to practice her kicks. Little by little, the girlâ€™s confidence grows â€” until one Saturday comes around when she has no stomachache at all! In a charming and relatable story about trying something new, author-illustrator Hyewon Yum shows that sometimes a little bravery and a lot of patience are all you need to face your fear.
