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?”

After reading the story, she says: “Trying something new can feel a little scary at first but when you finally give it a go, you just might love it and never want to stop, just like swimming for me.”

Last week, my children’s preschool declared it “Dr. Seuss Week” in celebration of the author’s birthday. The next day, the estate of Theodor Seuss Geisel, or Dr. Seuss author of 60 books, with 700 million copies sold around the world announced that six of his books would be removed from future publication because “they portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.”
I wasn’t surprised by this news, and honestly, I was a bit relieved.
A few months ago, my family received a hand-me-down copy of
And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street as part of a collected edition of Dr. Seuss.
