On weekend mornings Callie skated by day, when the sun was bright and the wind sang through the tall stalks of thistle. During the week she skated by night, when moonlight flowed silvery across her backyard pond and frost dusted the bench where she laced up her skates.
Callie loves to skate! However, when her friends convince her to enter the Honeybrook Ice Skating Contest, Callie's favorite pastime suddenly seems a little less joyful. Poetic and playful, Callie Cat, Ice Skater conveys a lovely message about how the deepest pleasures in life come "not from winning, but doing." You'll cheer for sweet Callie throughout this darling, winsomely illustrated story. For ages 4-8.
