Henry Holton takes the Ice
In Henry’s family everyone is a die-hard hockey fan, except for Henry; he can outskate everyone in the family, but simply can’t handle a hockey stick. When he sees an ice dancing exhibition he finds his passion – he wants to be a figure skater, and with the support of his dad and grandma, he follows his dream. This heart-warming picture book for K-3, with its large, expressive illustrations, is a useful read-aloud to explore making non-stereotypical choices, finding one’s passion, and following one’s true self even if it’s tough. Useful addition for classroom or school libraries and for school counselors.
