About the Book

Alf is scared of water—but he’s not about to let that keep him from enjoying summer with his water-loving friends. In this slyly humorous story, Alf creatively confronts his fears and comes up with a surprising solution. It’s the summer and everyone is out swimming under the sun . . . well, almost everyone. While all his friends love canoeing down rivers and splashing in the community pool, Alf would rather remain on dry land. This makes hanging with his friends difficult! What can Alf do to enjoy his summer as much as his splish-splashing friends, without getting so much as a single toe wet?  From one of Sweden’s most beloved children’s authors, I Do Not Like Water is an award-winning celebration of whimsical individuality and overcoming your fears.

Review :
A Bank Street Best Book 2025 CCBC Choices 2025 ★ "This is a refreshingly unsentimental and matter-of-fact take on being different, devoid of heavy-handed moralizing or intervention from adult characters. The children's interpersonal dynamics and body language are left for young readers to absorb and ponder, and they'll linger over both text and art—and be heartened by Alf's trajectory. A delightful celebration of acceptance in all its forms." —Kirkus Reviews "In this Swedish import by Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award–winning author-illustrator Lindström, Alf is a child who knows his own mind...Lindström’s quirky gouache-and-watercolor illustrations are full of subtle details that suggest the child is much more fascinated and absorbed by water than he proclaims. Alf cleverly finds a way to enjoy swimming with his friends and creatively keeps his head above water. A buoyant picture book about facing fears and staying true to oneself." —Booklist "Vividly relaying intense early experiences of pain and of pleasure, Lindström (The Bridge) portrays a child who is comfortable with their own feelings and resourceful enough to hold space for them."—Publishers Weekly "In this Swedish import by Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award–winning author-illustrator Lindström, Alf is a child who knows his own mind. Lindström’s quirky gouache-and-watercolor illustrations are full of subtle details... (a) buoyant picture book about facing fears and staying true to oneself."—Booklist
