Frog, Ice Cream Cone, Stick

Ia Isaksson & Hanna Klinthage

My is on summer vacation and dad wants her to learn how to swim. My doesn’t want to. There are jellyfish. And crabs! But dad nags. He thinks My can get summer friends at swimming school. My looks at her new, nice swimsuit, it’s shimmering blue with a rainbow. “Okay then,” she finally says. “Frog, ice cream cone, stick”, say the children at swimming school. That’s what you look like when you’re practicing swimming strokes. It seems so easy to them, they don’t even have swim fins. On the pier, My meets another water-shy child. Together they get an idea – maybe you can practice swimming strokes on the beach first?

Author Ia Isaksson and award-winning illustrator Hanna Klinthage have created a summer-warm and colorful story about getting a new friend and daring to do things you’re afraid of – at your own pace.

”What a debut! //…// Together they have created a bull’s-eye picture book. //…// A pearl!” BTJ, 5/5
