Jabari Jumps
by Gaia Cornwall
Age: Preschool-2nd grade
Familiar Experience: First time on the diving board
Sports: Swimming
Emotions: Being brave
It must be challenging to write and illustrate a book that tackles the concept of fear. You would have to make it real enough to be relatable but not scary enough that it further reinforces the fear of the listener. Cornwall achieves this middle ground, providing bibliotherapy for children afraid of the diving board and/or with other fears of new and daring experiences. I could feel the rough edge of the board when she describes Jabari just before he dives in. His father and baby sister wait in the pool at the bottom and celebrate Jabari's bravery.
