Young Jabari has just learned to swim in the book Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwell.  He goes with his father and brother to the pool, ready to tackle the high dive.

But once he gets there, he realizes he is still scared of what could happen. He begins finding ways to stall and not jump right away.

After taking some time and talking to his dad, who keeps saying,"I love surprises" to help him gain confidence, Jabari chooses to jump.

A coming of age story for so many young children, Jabari Jumps will make it easy for children of all ages to face their fears and move along through life.
