Henry Holton Takes the Ice

A lively hockey and ice dancing picture book in the tradition of Billy Elliotand The Sissy Duckling
Henry Holton s whole family is hockey mad. Everyone, that is, except Henry. When he holds a hockey stick, Henry becomes a menace to the game and an embarrassment to his sports-minded family. It s not until he sees his first ice dancing performance that Henry realizes there s something he can do on the ice that doesn t involve boarding and body checking. Henry is ready to hang up his gear and try on some figure skates, but first he has to convince his hockey-obsessed family to let him follow his own path.
