MINI TREASURES: delightful mini picture books to treasure forever. YOU CAN SWIM, JIM Jim doesn't wnat to plunge into the pool - he quivers and shivers on the edge until. . . SPLASH! What happens next is a surprise for everyone - especially Jim!

Jim the crocodile finds the courage to face his fear of swimming in this funny and charming debut picture book from Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor–winning author-illustrator Kaz Windness. Jim the crocodile is scared of swimming—or rather, of sinking. His family’s swamp is just too deep, too dark, and too big. But maybe he could swim, if only there were a smaller swamp where he could try it on his own terms. Jim wiggle-waggles far and wide until he finds the perfect place. With the help of some floaties and his sisters, Jim just might find the courage to face his fear and show everyone—including himself—that Jim can swim!

Two young men, Jim, the naive, scholarly son of a Dublin shopkeeper, and Doyler, a rough working boy, struggle with issues of political, religious, and sexual identity in the year leading up to the Easter uprising of 1916.

The author uses metaphors, such as floating, treading water, and swimming with all your might to share her insight on how to live life.
