Summary

An uplifting and empowering story about the joy of swimming and following our dreams.

Silver has loved swimming since her very first lesson and dreams of one day becoming… a MERMAID!

There’s just one problem: her dad can’t swim.

They bake mermaid-tail cupcakes together, build mermaid caves and read underwater stories, but he can’t join her in the pool like the other dads.

Silver worries she’ll have to give up on her dream and quit swim…
