Friendship and imagination replace loneliness and solitude for a boy and a girl who meet at what is possibly the most overcrowded swimming pool in the world! After the pool fills with boisterous kids in inner tubes and other assorted inflatables (including a canoe!) a shy boy dives beneath the chaos and finds a shy girl swimming under the water with him.
The muted colors at the beginning of the book become increasingly more vibrant as the children explore the depths together and develop a connection.
This book was on USBBY's 2016 list of Outstanding International Books.
