Sophie Skates

Reach for this book when your child expresses a new passion for a hobby or feels the nervous excitement of starting a structured sport. While it follows Sophie's journey through the world of figure skating, it is fundamentally a story about the dedication and joy found in pursuing a craft. Rachel Isadora's soft illustrations capture the technicality of the sport alongside the emotional highs of performance and the quiet discipline of practice. It is perfect for children aged 4 to 8 who are beginning to understand that mastery requires both patience and heart. Parents will appreciate how it balances the 'glamour' of the ice with the practical realities of equipment care and hard work, fostering a healthy perspective on achievement and self-discipline.
