Hippo doesn't swim / Hipo no nada

Pablo Bernasconi

Bilingual Book Walk Story

Hippo is afraid of the water, so he has convinced himself that swimming must be boring. He decides to look for something different to do, but nothing seems to work: he is too heavy to jump rope and too big to climb trees.

Maybe there is something he can do. He will just have to find the courage to try.

Full of humor, Hippo Doesn’t Swim / Hipo no nada is a story about fear, courage, self-confidence, and learning to overcome the things that hold us back.
