In this adorable picture book, the title character, Sergio, a young penguin has a serious dilemma. He LOVES water--ice, baths, rain, puddles--but he doesn't love the "very deep kind." Why? Because he can't swim. Yep, that's right. Sergio is a penguin who can't swim. When his class goes on a field trip to the ocean, he is naturally frightened. But can a little encouragement from his teacher and classmates plus arm floaties, a snorkel, and life preserver give him the courage to jump in?
Edel Rodriguez's oil-based woodblock ink and digital media illustrations will are fun and charming, and children will be drawn in by the bright aqua blue of the ocean that is the background throughout the book.
This is a very fun book that could help give kids the courage to try something they may be afraid of.
