Let’s all head to the rink to race, glide, and hop!

Kayla and Piper are excited about their class trip to the skating rink. They plan to make it extra fun, but learn that their friend Jackson has never skated before. For Jackson, skating is scary. So the friends all work together to come up with a wonderful way to help Jackson, and soon he overcomes his fears. Now skating day is fun for everyone!
There’s no need to fear when great friends are near! This story includes a subtle message around etiquette when interacting with a wheelchair user, as we see when one of Kayla’s classmates pushes her wheelchair without consent. This lesson is artfully woven into the story to make it fun, relatable, and accessible.
