There's a Leech on My Leg

By Tara White

When there's a leech on your leg, sometimes the scariest part isn't the leech - it's going back in the water.

Greyson can't wait to swim at the cottage. He's up before the sun, in the lake before breakfast, and ready to stay in until he turns into a fish. Then he steps out for lunch and finds a small, black, gooey thing stuck to his leg.

After that, every idea Greyson has for getting back in the water gets bigger, funnier, and further from actual swimming. Hip waders. A turtleneck and gloves. A fogged-up scuba mask. A floatie he can't paddle. His mom and Nana keep laughing. Greyson keeps sitting on the sand.

Until one morning, he wakes up with his best idea yet.

There's a Leech on My Leg is a warm, funny picture book about the thing every kid faces sooner or later - the fear that shows up out of nowhere and makes something you love feel impossible. It's about family, about the quiet patience of a grandmother, and about the moment a kid realizes the courage was already there.

Perfect for:
