Giant is going to learn to swim, and he is a little nervous. Good thing he has good friends to cheer him on. Giant wades in with both paws and soon is kicking and paddling and swimming in circles with the rest of his gang. With the encouragement of his friends and a lot of practice, Giant becomes the fastest swimmer, good enough to compete in an upcoming contest on the lake.

Whether water-shy or raring to go, young readers will find much to relate to as Giant experiences a childhood first, and what it means to never give up.

Author Laurence was inspired to write Giant the Lion five years ago motivated by her love of teaching children how to swim. "I discovered that many kids are fearful to learn. However, once I taught them breathing, kicking, jumping and eventually swimming, most were surprised at how easy it was. Like anything else you want to achieve in life, you just have to try and you may discover a gift to share with the world," says Laurence.

  • Giant the Lion is available on Amazon.comin hard copy, Kindle and softbound. She is currently working on her second children's book.
