In this picture book the little girl has anxiety induced stomachaches. When waking up her stomach is pain but her mom encourages her to continue with her day. She does things to avoid going in the pool such as taking her time get ready and pretending she went in the water by wetting her hair. The swim teacher is very patient with her and instructs her separately to help her feel comfortable.

This book is not only good for children suffering from this but for parents to get an idea of what is going on in their child’s head. I would give this to any elementary age or younger child.

Ages: 3 to 5 years old / 5 to 7 years old.
