When You Can Swim | Jack Wong

Pickpick

Debut author Jack Wong used pastels & watercolour to create a series of joyful outdoor swimming scenes—in lakes, rivers, the ocean—and celebrate interacting with nature through swimming in this beautiful, award-winning picture book. People of diverse heritage & abilities are portrayed, encouraging readers not to be afraid of the water, and also conveys the message that enjoying the natural world belongs to everyone. #Canadian #kidlit

I decided to make a book representing the freedom to discover swimming because representation is power: We can use it to depict the world we are striving for, before that world is a reality for everyone.
[from the author‘s note]

When you can swim,
you‘ll reach landscapes as foreign as the moon
no spaceship required

Lindy I didn‘t even notice the girl‘s prosthetic leg the first time I read this book all the way through. In fact, I didn‘t notice until after I took the photo because I wanted to share the quote from this page. 13mo

#SummerSpecial Day 28: Our view for lunch today overlooking the Bodrum Castle made us want to #Swim and this dog beat us to it. What a gorgeous place. Thrilled to be spending an entire week in the Turkish Riviera overlooking the Aegean. Vacation!
