From the Norwegian creators of the award-winning Bedtime for Bo, this story illuminates the possibilities that can unfurl when we spread our wings, dive into new waters, and trust in our own capabilities

Ella, a small penguin on summer vacation, only has her eyes set on the wonders of the skyhow she wishes she could fly! The ocean, on the other hand, an endless abyss of the unknown, scares her. When her grandmother endeavors to teach her how to swim, Ella is reluctant at first, but eventually she begins to see the oceanand especially herselfin a new light through her pink-colored goggles. As she adventures through the surprisingly colorful world of sea urchins, octopi, and mermaids, Ella realizes that swimming is not so different from flying after all, and that she is much braver than she gave herself credit for.

Through Mari Kanstad Johnsens vibrant and animated depictions of the natural world, readers are invited along on Ellas journey as she uncovers the many treasures of the sky and the sea, and as her universe and confidence in herself expand. Sometimes, grandmothers really do know best: doing the things that scare us are often the most rewarding, and taking a leap of faith can often allow for the most unexpected fun.
