Hipo no nada (Spanish Edition)

Product Description

Hipo le tiene miedo al agua, así que se convenció de que nadar debe ser aburrido. Un día decide salir a buscar algo diferente que hacer. Para su sorpresa, nada funcinoa: es demasiado pesado o demasiado grande para saltar a la cuerda, trepar a los árboles o jugar al sube y baja. Pero quizás, después de todo, es posible que haya algo que se le dé bastante bien… Tendrá que encontrar el coraje para dar un salto y… ¡nadar! Una hermosa historia sobre nuestros miedos y como los conquistamos.
Hippo is afraid of the water so he convinced himself that swimming MUST be boring. He then decides to go out looking for something different to do. But nothing works out: he is too heavy or too big to jump on the rope, to climb trees or to play seesaw. Maybe, after all, there’s something he can do… He’ll have to find the courage to take a leap and jump in the water. A beautiful story about our fears and how we rise above them.
