You're a Good Swimmer

Dive into the journey of life with You're a Good Swimmer, a captivating picture book that answers the age-old question: Where do babies come from? 

Readers will quickly discover it's not just about the birds and the bees; it's a celebration of the astounding journey that each person takes towards their first breath. This picture book brings families together, engaging readers across ages as it explores the miracle of life alongside the complexity of reproduction, birth, and biology. With timeless and inspiring artwork alongside straightforward and lively text, You're a Good Swimmer emphasizes that taking our very first breath is the grand prize of the greatest race of all. Rather than sticking to a “Mommy + Daddy = You” narrative, it explores the miraculous nature of birth in an inclusive way — suitable for children ages five and up — without restricting these experiences to specific gender identities or family structures.

“Not exactly evenhanded in ascribing genetic agency but joyous, clever, and inclusive.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Appropriate for preschool picture-book enthusiasts, this is also the sort of resource every middle- and high-school counselor should display prominently in their office.” — American Library Association’s Booklist
