Description: A rambling lakehouse, a gaggle of cousins, and one very patient grandfather makes the summer Sirena learns to swim something special.
Brief description: Patty Brozo has been writing stories for and about children since taking creative writing classes in college. She is the author of Miss Pinkeltink's Purse and The Buddy Bench.
Review Quotes: In Brozo and Bowler's quiet story, intergenerational support helps a child overcome a fear of water during summer vacation with extended family...Amid faint line drawings and striated wash textures, densely detailed narration serves to further visualize the goings-on, and the strength the child finds in relationship with Poppo yields a realistic and sensitive denouement.-- "Publishers Weekly" (3/4/2026 12:00:00 AM)
