Jabari Jumps

by Gaia Cornwall

Jabari says he’s ready to jump off the diving board. He’s passed his swimming test, he’s a great jumper, and it looks easy. He’s definitely not scared… or so he says.

As Jabari watches and waits, doing stretches and thinking about the perfect jump, his dad is there with quiet encouragement. Maybe being brave means taking your time—and knowing someone’s right beside you.
