Sunday Skating by Andrea Rowe

Clancy’s friends skate through the quiet Sunday streets, while Clancy feels self-conscious, and embarrassed, that he’s just a beginner. His board stays tucked under his arm; his feet stay firmly on the ground. 
 
But his friends aren’t giving up on him and Clancy realises the only way forward is to step on his board and try … even if he might fall.

Andrea Rowe and Hannah Sommerville transport us back to the world of their award-winning picture book, Jetty Jumping, with a story about self-doubt, courage and the power of friendship.

‘A story that captures the true essences of camaraderie, courage and self-belief … Sunday Skating encapsulates beauty, nostalgia and playfulness for lovers of skating, and for those willing to try. Just like good friends and the power of courage, this book will pick you up when you fall.’ Books+Publishing
