About The Book

Splash into the thrills of summer with this delightful picture book from a series about the simple joys and daily rituals of each changing season!

Summer, full and bright, is here,
so we swim and soar this time of year.

Three young siblings splash into the thrills of summer and celebrate an endless day of adventure with a family road trip to the beach! From soaking up hours of fun in the sun to ending the day roasting a dinner treat by the campfire, Swimming Season captures the magical moments of this time of year.

Swimming Season is the second book in the new This Time of Year series, about the memorable daily rhythms of childhood—and through them, sweet assurances of love—that emerge as the seasons shape our lives.

Excerpt

Race down to the water, running—
first one to dive in!

Stretch out on the dock sunning,
warm rays on your skin.

Rocks and shells,
treasure gathering,
feather from a swan.

Reapply sunblock, slathering—
“Put your hat back on!”

Summer, free and warm, is here,
so we swim and seek this time of year
