Lottie and Walter

Description

From this master picture-book creator comes a warm, funny and empowering story about overcoming fear, and the unique friendship between one little girl and her own secret, flippered companion. 'I'm not swimming,' Lottie announced. Lottie doesn't want to be afraid, but no matter what she does, she just can't go in the water. Until she finds a surprising friend, who turns out to be more helpful than Lottie could ever have imagined...
