Halima can't decide who to dress up as for her friend's birthday party. Should she be a princess like Elsa, or a sort-of superhero like Pippi Longstocking? "You can't be either," her friends tell her, "because you don't look like them."

Halima decides she doesn't want to go to the party any more. What's the point if she can't be one of her heroes? Until Mama says Halima can be whoever she wants to be, and together they discover some of the strong, brave women who could inspire her. Can Halima regain her confidence and discover her inner superhero princess?

Heartfelt and uplifting, this empowering story from African-diaspora mother Emily Joof encourages confidence, pride and self-expression in young readers, and introduce them to inspiring women of colour from around the world. Asa Gilland's vibrant and engaging illustrations are full of texture, expression and fun.

Industry Reviews
Praise for Emily Joof?s I Will Swim Next Time: 'This adorable, sweet book is all about reassuring little ones that they can take their time with things they feel nervous about.' -- BookTrust 'Offers a model for parents looking to quell children?s fears, support their dreams, and allow them room to grow. Given that many swimming pools have historically excluded African American communities and that Black children face an elevated risk of drowning, a narrative that spotlights a Black family reveling in the water is especially welcome. Gentle, inspiring, and important.' -- Kirkus Reviews 'Joof's poetic verse glides effortlessly through the story.' -- The Scotsman 'A wonderfully gentle approach to children trying new things. This is a great book to share with any child that might be about to embark on the unknown.' -- Scottish Book Trust 'This is an affirming story about listening to yourself and taking things at your own pace.' -- Juno Praise for Asa Gilland: ?The book's bright and busy illustrations pulse with life.? -- Kirkus Reviews on Meena's Mindful Moment 'Asa Gilland?s stunning illustrations take us through the changing seasons and remind us that, in life, sometimes everything changes.' -- Teach Early Years on Everything Changes
