Poor Nigel, he comes from a long line of competitive swimmers. His mom is the fastest swimmer in crocodile history and his sister has a perfect score in diving. He doesn’t want to disappoint his family, but Nigel gets really nervous if he has to swim for a competition. He loves to swim for fun, but his heart races and his palms get sweaty if he has to concentrate. He just wants to be himself and it takes all of his courage to tell his family that he likes different things than they do. I would recommend this for any collection. It is a great introduction for children in learning to be yourself and not feel pressured to be something you are not. ( )
