Jacqueline Davies, Author & Sonia Sánchez, Illustrator. In this energetic and dynamic picture book perfect for reading aloud, an everyday visit to the pool transforms into a celebration of summer 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. An everyday visit to the community pool is transformed into an unforgettable celebration of all the things one can do in the water from dunking and diving with friends to 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 seem to swim off the pages as the underwater world comes to life through lush, dynamic illustrations and visual poetry. Journey to a magical, imaginative world where, always and forever, bubbles . . . rise . . . UP! For ages 4 and up.
