Olympic swimmer Alice Dearing cuddles a teddy bear wearing goggles and arm bands as she sits at the edge of her training pool to read a CBeebies Bedtime Story.
The athlete, 24, who is Team GB’s first black female swimmer, will read Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall, a story about overcoming your fears, on July 23, the same day as the Olympics opening ceremony.
Dearing, who will compete in the open-water event in Tokyo, asks the young viewers: “Are you ready to jump into tonight’s bedtime story with me?”

But mainstream children’s books often fail to show kids the representation they need to see, said Medford mother of two, Simmy Buck. Many of these books center white characters in white environments. So much so that Buck never saw another Indian-American woman in her childhood favorites think “Nancy Drew” and Judy Blume.
That’s why she and her husband started Loving Little Minds, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that ships a hand-picked selection of multicultural books to families every month.
