Frog Ice Cream Stick

Ia Isaksson & Hanna Klinthage

Mia is on summer vacation and her father would like her to learn how to swim. Mia wouldn’t like to. There’s jellyfish in the water. And crabs! But dad is nagging… He believes that Mia could find some summer friends at the swimming school. Mia looks at her nice, new swimsuit, shimmering blue with a rainbow.
“Okay then”, she says, at last.

Frog, Ice Cream, stick says the kids at swimming school. That’s what you look like while practicing. They make it look so easy, not even wearing water wings. Seated aside, Mia finds another skeptic, a boy called Bill. Together they figure- perhaps they could practice in the sand before doing so in the water?

Debutante Ia Isaksson, together with award winning illustrator Hanna Klinthage, have created a warm and colourful summer story about finding a friend and daring to do things you’re scared of- your way.

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