Claire Cashmore, MBE and Paralympic gold medallist, was born without a
left forearm – but she never let being different stand in the way of
her big dreams. Splash is based on Claire’s real-life experience: this
gold-medal-winning swimmer really was scared of water … until one day,
everything changed!
These are Claire’s big sisters.
They call her Bear and ruffle her hair.
And whatever Claire’s sisters can do,
Claire can do too …
But there is one thing Claire won't do …The water in the swimming pool
makes her feel squirmy inside. Follow her sisters? No thank you! Not
today?
Can Claire conquer her fears? Can she set foot in the water – and what
will happen if she does?
Splash features a brilliantly bold heroine, who happens to be
differently abled, and brims with fun, positivity and Claire Cashmore’s
inspirational growth mindset message.
