Fish dream of becoming Olympic swimmers…Olympic swimmers dream that they’re fish.
It’s a very unlikely dream.
Swimmers uses humor and poetry to show the reader how a page can be a deep, blue sea or an Olympic swimming pool and blurs the line between what is and isn’t possible. Filled with quirky text and amusing illustrations of sturgeons in swimwear and tuna taking the gold, Swimmers merges the worlds of fish and people in this English-language translation of an entirely original book.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Alcántara, Mariana (illustrator). Swimmers have to train so hard during the day (50 meters of Front Crawl, 50 meters of Backstroke and 50 meters of Butterfly) that at night they must dream they're fish. But what if on those very same nights, when the moon beams down on the ocean, fish dream that they're swimmers? The authors of this book use humor and poetry to show us how a page can be a deep, blue sea or an Olympic swimming pool, depending on how you look at it. Artikel-Nr. CIN1734783931G
