Jump!

By Ben Berens

Each year when school gets out, most kids can't wait to jump into summer - but one boy, Edgar, is filled with dread. Haunted by humiliation at the pool last summer, he spends his days stuck in a cycle of self-doubt. That is, until a friendly lifeguard named Steve shares a heartfelt story about his own path to overcoming fear. With the help of mindfulness techniques, community, and a newfound dose of courage, Edgar confronts his fears with the diving board...but will he take the leap?

JUMP is an inspiring and poetic tale that centers on themes of fear and resilience. This book features a bonus section (Steve's Secret Formula) that is packed with kid-friendly mindfulness strategies making it a timely and empowering read for young audiences navigating big feelings.
