Serafina’s reluctant plunge

Serafina is a cat with a firm dislike of water, and swim class puts that aversion to the test. The story’s turning point comes when an old friend needs her help, giving Serafina a reason to reconsider the pool. That setup brings together two clear threads: facing something unfamiliar and responding to someone you care about. The picture-book premise keeps the focus on Serafina’s resistance, the swim-class challenge, and the friendship that may change her mind.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy stories about animal characters.
  • Young readers exploring themes of trying unfamiliar activities and helping a friend.
  • Families seeking a picture book centered on cats and swim class.

Book overview

This purr-fectly adorable picture book introduces an irresistibly over-the-top new kitty character who's ready to make a big splash!

Meet Serafina! If there's one thing you should know about Serafina, it's that she absolutely, positively HATES water. Running faucets, rain, or the sea? No thank you. So even though she looks fantastic in goggles, Serafina is NOT happy to be forced into a swim class by the powers that be. NOTHING can convince her to get into that disgusting pit of seething water. Nothing, that is, except maybe a very beloved old friend who needs a hand.

From acclaimed creators Matthew Burgess and Robin Rosenthal comes an unforgettable picture book that shows how trying new things can lead to unexpected joy.
