um dia na piscina - sketch

book sketch

"Bom dia alegria!
Tic-Toc a acordar
hoje é o primeiro dia
para aprender a nadar"

(Good morning sunshine!
Tic Toc waking up
Today is the first day
To learn how to swim)

"Mas o medo espreita à porta
pois é a primeira vez
vejo uma figura torta
a contar 1, 2, 3…"

(fear looks through the door
since is the first day
I see a wry figure
counting 1, 2, 3...)

rhyme revealing by turning the pages
