Sergio Makes a Splash by Edel Rodriguez

5.0

In Sergio Makes a Splash, we are introduced to Sergio the penguin. Sergio love love loves water but is afraid to learn to swim! On a school field trip, Sergio's teacher pushes him to face his fear by emphasizing that the ocean is all of the ways Sergio loves to play in water put in one place, and it's not as scary as he thinks. Sergio begins to see through his teacher's eyes and decides to make a splash, facing his fear and having a great time! I think this story is a cute way to teach students about facing fears and about different ways of looking at a scary situation. I love that the main character is a sweet little penguin who wants to swim but has to find the courage to.
