Description

Edición en inglés disponible.

Un homenaje al aprendizaje de la natación con un grupo diverso de niños y familias que experimentan el gozo de sumergirse en el agua en medio de la naturaleza.

 

En este libro donde se explora lo que realmente significa nadar aparecen zarapitos, lagos llenos de taninos y se describe la sensación de una cascada que cae sobre hombros bañados por el sol. Pero ¿qué pasa con aquellos que le temen al agua y se resisten a aprender a nadar? Jack Wong, el autor e ilustrador, nos brinda un cuadro convincente de las muchas alegrías y sorpresas que depara el agua a través de un texto poético y estimulante que invita a los niños a experimentar la calidez y las maravillas del mundo natural.

 

A reverent celebration of learning to swim among a diverse cast of children and families who each experience the mysterious joys of water in nature.

 

In this exploration of what it truly means to swim, expansive vignettes introduce sandpipers, tannin-soaked lakes, and the feeling of a small waterfall on sun-soaked shoulders. But what about those who are afraid of the water's mysterious ways and resist learning to swim? Painting a compelling picture of the many joys and surprises that the water holds, artist and author Jack Wong has delivered an empowering, poetic journey that invites children to discover their confidence within to receive the warmth and wonder of the natural world.

JACK WONG has created a masterpiece drawn from his lived experience of growing up with a grandmother who spent her childhood in the rivers of Borneo and a mother -- growing up in late 1950s China -- who was forbidden to learn to swim. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Vancouver, Jack holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, Canada, where he now lives with his wife and two cats.
