The night before the Underwater Fancy-Dress Parade, Alfie got that feeling - sometimes it is hard to be brave. Sometimes you get that feeling. Alfie isn't sure he can go to the parade, but his mum knows there's at least one special place for Alfie - a beautiful, shimmery, underwater world that tells Alfie it's okay to feel shy. Because sometimes you're just not ready - until one day, you are.
