Description



Book Synopsis



Introducing an irresistibly over-the-top new kitty character who's ready to make a big splash!

Meet Serafina. If there's one thing you should know about Serafina, it's that she absolutely, positively HATES water. Running faucets, rain, or the sea? No thank you. So even though she looks fantastic in goggles, Serafina is NOT happy to be forced into a swim class by the powers that be. NOTHING can convince her to get into that disgusting pit of seething water. Nothing, that is, except maybe a very beloved old friend who needs a hand.

The first book in an unforgettable new picture book series from acclaimed creators Matthew Burgess and Robin Rosenthal shows how trying something new can lead to unexpected joy.
