Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall
4.0

Gorgeous, diverse illustrations accompany this sweet story about a little guy named Jabari who has finished his swimming lessons and is going to jump off the diving board. He's not scared, he just forgot to do his stretches. Um, he needs to take a little rest and think about what kind of magnificent jump he wants to do. Um, um, um... Will Jabari be brave? Can Jabari's dad help him find his courage? What is courage anyway?

A wonderful one-on-one read, or a fabulous group read aloud about feelings, swimming, summer, courage, or perseverance.
