Nelly has a brand new swimsuit, and she loves it. She looks fabulous, so she wears it all the time—while riding her bike, eating at a fancy restaurant, playing basketball . . . . She even wears it to bed. But there's one place Nelly won't take her lovely new suit: swimming. No way! She will not get in the water. But Grandma, a swimming champion, has other ideas. And with Grandma's loving help, Nelly gives it a try—dipping one toe in at a time, blowing bubbles, and learning to float. Soon Nelly is on the way to becoming a champion swimmer herself! This sweet story about trying new things encourages young readers to take the plunge—and find new ways to have fun! Valeri Gorbachev's signature illustrations are cozy and warm, making this a gentle, encouraging read for any young ones anxious about new experiences.
