An innovative series of linked stories designed to build reader confidence. Sylvie loves to swim, although she can't quite do it on her own yet. She goes every Saturday with her mum and baby brother. One Saturday the big children are splashing and being noisy and Sylvie gets put off. But when she visits the aquarium and sees the baby seahorses swimming as soon as they are born, she is more determined than ever to get it right! A simple and reassuring story about rising to the challenge.
Mara Bergman, who grew up in New York, is the author of Bears, Bears Everywhere, illustrated by Helen Craig, and Glitter Kitty, illustrated by Lydia Monks. Mara lives in Kent. Tor Freeman is the author and illustrator of Rah! and Hooray, I'm Five Today! She lives in London.
