Jabari Salta Paperback - 2020

From the publisher

Working up the courage to take a big, important leap is hard, but Jabari is almost absolutely ready to make a giant splash. Now in a Spanish-language edition! Definitivamente Jabari est listo para saltar del trampoln. Sus clases de natacin ya haban terminado. Haba pasado la prueba. Solo que . . . tal vez primero debera hacer algunos ejercicios de estiramiento.
--Parece fcil, --dice Jabari mientras observa a los otros nios turnarse. Pero cuando su pap le aprieta la mano, Jabari se la aprieta a su pap. Gaia Cornwall debuta como autora e ilustradora de libros infantiles con un cuento que trata sobre lo que hay que hacer para desarrollar la valenta al dar un salto grande e importante. Jabari is definitely ready to jump off the diving board. He's finished his swimming lessons and passed his swim test, and he's a great jumper, so he's not scared at all. "Looks easy," says Jabari, watching the other kids take their turns. But when his dad squeezes his hand, Jabari squeezes back. He needs to figure out what kind of special jump to do anyway, and he should probably do some stretches before climbing up onto the diving board. In a sweetly appealing tale of overcoming your fears, Gaia Cornwall captures a moment between a patient and encouraging father and a determined little boy you can't help but root for.
