Annie Learns to Swim

What a sensible publication! A simple, engaging story incorporating a child’s nervousness at swimming and showing basic instruction in action. But this isn’t a “teach yourself” book – it’s a story about Annie and her doubts and fears, and her growing friendship with Lisa, a better swimmer. So both Lisa and swimming become Annie’s best friends. The author’s pictures are uncomplicated, set out with plenty of calming space around the words and pictures, and happily cheerful. Also in Afrikaans: Annie leer swem
