Lolly loves ice, and skating on it is her happy place. But when she performs in front of other people….well, her insecurities get the best of her, and she freezes.
When her dad encourages her to try out for the Winter Showcase, she realizes that maybe the spotlight could be her happy place, too. But can she still skate with all eyes on her, especially when she doesn’t look like the other skaters do?
This sweetly encouraging tale is perfect for anyone who has wanted to shine–but wondered if they could.
