“This gently humorous, ‘building up the courage to embrace your
fear’ book is sure to resonate with both children and adults alike:
most of us have been there with Jabari’s dad, either as parent or
teacher, as a child takes that plunge into the unknown: the idea of
treating it as a ‘surprise’ is superb and will definitely ensure
that wherever this is shared, it will create a pretty big
SPLASH!.”
*Red Reading Hub*
A tender portrait of a parent gently guiding their child to process
intertwined feelings of apprehension and excitement. The gentle
text makes effective use of rhythm and repetition, while the soft
mixed media illustrations play with perspective, enabling the
reader to empathise with Jabari’s shifting emotions.
*Children's Books Ireland - Mind Yourself*
The build up of suspense is excellent. The reader can’t help but
will Jabari on and will have all the happy feels when he achieves
what he sets out to.
