Book Overview
My mother is responsible for this book, and she's the spokesperson throughout except when emphasis is needed and we both add our two cents! She started talking about writing a book on how to teach children to swim in 1961. Since her expertise was teaching, not writing, she convinced me that writing the book with her would be as much fun as I was having teaching with her, but she had to wait because at 10 years old I was still developing my command of the English language.While I grew up and got my college education, she put her dream book on hold. She kept teaching and helped Larry build a log cabin home on their 40-acre Oregon farm, rebuilt a barn that blew down one winter, even built a chicken coop. She grows her own vegetables, cans what she grows, freezes the meat that Larry raises on the hoof, and still hangs all her laundry on the line outside because she likes the fresh-air smell! When we finally refocused on the book, we yelled, hollered, laughed until we cried, and thought we'd lost our marbles trying to describe in words on paper what we do naturally in the water from our hearts and with our hands. But here it is-my mother's dream come true. It's like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow... priceless.
