The Pool Is Cool
by Dwayne Reed

This bounce-to-the-beat picture book by America’s favorite rapping teacher follows a young son who helps his father overcome his fear of swimming.

Bloop. Dribble. Drip. Drizzle. Splish. Spray. Splash!

Cuz my dad makes every excuse not to swim.
I wish I could convince him THE POOL IS COOL!

With rhyming text and vibrant illustrations that capture the essence of summer, this tender story about a father and son will encourage confident and reluctant swimmers alike to overcome their fears one stroke at a time.
