Product Description
(Ages 6-9) Day and night, Callie Cat ice skates on the pond in her backyard. She loves to ice skate, loves it more than chocolate cake, more than going to the mall-more than her friends can understand. That is, until the Honeybrook Ice Rink announces a contest, and everyone thinks it could be Callie's big chance! Now Callie practices day and night. She wants to win the big prize...doesn't she? Sometimes doing something you love is its own reward, as Eileen Spinelli's unusual story demonstrates. Anne Kennedy's exuberant art shows a unique heroine in motion.

Callie Cat, Ice Skater September 7, 2008
This is the second time I have given the book "Callie Cat, Ice Skater" as a gift. It is an adorable story with a wonderful, non-preachy message, "Winning is not always the most important thing. Sometimes we need to do something for the sheer joy of doing it!" MAJ

My five-year old daughter checked this book out of the library and I expected it to be just another picture book. Instead, I swear, I cried at the ending. Then I went right to Amazon and ordered two copies. One for myself and one for a writer friend.
This is a must read for not only kids, but for anyone who has ever played sports, sent something into a publisher, or checked their book's stats on Amazon. (sigh)
Thank you for writing this book!

Callie Cat, Ice Skater is a children's picturebook about the joy of doing something one loves for its own sake. Young Callie Cat enjoys ice skating on the pond in her backyard, more than chocolate cake or going to the mall. When the Honeybrook Ice Rink announces a contest, it could be Callie's big chance to win the prize - but is winning the prize what she really wants to do? When another skater achieves an even better performance, she's heartbroken at first, until she remembers that skating can be joyful fun for its own sake. The enthusiastic artwork of a playful cat and her animal friends adds the perfect touch to this heartwarming story.
