Olvina Swims

(3) K-3 Olvina's a chicken, both inside and out. She musters up the courage to swim in the ocean after penguin pal Hailey teaches her how to blow bubbles in the bathtub and dog paddle in the pool. Lin's reassuring story should ease kids' fears, and her gouache illustrations, showing animals in cheery, patterned swimwear, add just the right touch of humor.
