| Summary | "A former synchronized swimmer finds that there just isn't any space for an anxiety attack in her crowded community pool. Out of place in a world where she was once comfortable, she sees there's no room in this pool for her kind of blue. She sinks down, down, down into the deepest deep … and embarks on a surrealist journey into the swamp that's been part of her all along. As she rests there with her feelings, wading and waiting, transforming a dry landscape into something new, she finds power in embracing who she is -- even the swampiest parts that rarely see the light. And her triumphant return to the world of the pool inspires the other children to be their truest selves, too. A lyrically told, dreamlike story about anxiety and acceptance that is sure to capture kids' imaginations"-- |
