A crocodile must conquer his fear of swimming in a deep, dark swamp.
Jim the crocodile is terrified of swimming in his family's deep, dark swamp. Determined to overcome his fear, he sets off on a journey to find a smaller, safer place to test the waters. With floaties and his sisters' support, Jim faces his biggest challenge. Can he prove to himself that he can swim, or will his fear hold him back? Dive into this charming tale of courage and self-discovery.
Jim the crocodile finds the courage to face his fear of swimming in this funny and charming debut picture book for fans of Jabari Jumps and Jean Reidy’s Truman! Jim the crocodile is scared of swimming–or rather, of sinking. His family’s swamp is just too deep, too dark, and too big. But maybe he could swim, if only there were a smaller swamp where he could try it on his own terms. Jim wiggle-waggles far and wide until he finds the perfect place. With the help of some floaties and his sisters, Jim just might find the courage to face his fear and show everyone–including himself–that Jim can swim!
