A Fish Like Me -- Jamie Sumner, Hardcover

"A gorgeous celebration of swimming, disability, and imagination." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

In the spirit of Eyes That Kiss in the Corners and I Talk Like a River, this lyrical picture book from acclaimed author Jamie Sumner tells the story of a child in swim therapy and celebrates the ways differently abled bodies can move in the water.

Under here, there is no top or bottom, no left or right-- only fields of water to wander in as topsy-turvy as I like.

Underwater, everything looks different--and every body moves differently, too. During swim therapy, a child discovers he can be anything: a catfish, a seahorse, a starfish cartwheeling across the universe. He finds the magic of moving in wholly new ways, just like he does on land in his trusty wheelchair.
