Bookroo's summary

Lottie dreads swim lessons, convinced a shark lurks in the pool just for her. Enter Walter, a quirky friend who shares her love for fish sticks and books. As another Saturday approaches, will Walter's friendship help Lottie find the courage to face her fears? Discover how a special bond can reveal hidden bravery and transform a child's world.

From the publisher

An original, compelling, and visually stunning treatment of a common childhood predicament: overcoming a fear of the water.

Lottie goes to swim lessons every Saturday, but she never gets in the water. That’s because she is convinced there is a shark in the pool, a shark that wants to eat her and only her. But then Walter appears. Walter likes singing and reading books and bubble baths, and his favorite food is fish sticks, just like Lottie. When Saturday rolls around again, Lottie is no more ready to jump in the pool than she was before. Or is she? Sometimes it just takes a special friend to find the courage that was inside you all along.
