    • Fun Book
My 5yo likes the book. She is learning how to skateboard and it's perfect. I would say it's better for slightly older kids but she seems happy to listen to us read it.

    • Got this for my 4yo who looks up to Sky Brown
This isn't a book that is going to be the end all be all in teaching skateboarding, but it tells Sky's story and breaks down a few tricks. My 4yo looks up to Sky and was pumped on this.

I always hoped my 8 daughter would get into a sport and this book helped her really embrace skateboarding and being an athlete. It’s so wholesome and lots of good life lessons inside.
