Reviews

[Jon Nakapalau]

Great introduction to this iconic skater. Funny how you remember celebrities; I still remember Michelle Kwan as a young girl competing at such a high level. It is important for small children to read books like this; so often we forget how much dedication and time athletes put into getting to the top - a lesson for all of us.
