Karen's Ski Trip

Reach for this book when your child is facing a new, intimidating physical challenge or feels overwhelmed by the 'big kid' expectations of a large family gathering. Karen Brewer is heading to the mountains for a ski trip with her big, blended family, but the excitement of the snow is quickly met with the reality of being a beginner. The story beautifully captures the transition from being nervous and clumsy to finding the courage to try again after a fall. Parents will appreciate how the book normalizes the frustration of learning a new skill while celebrating the small victories that build true confidence. As part of the Baby-Sitters Little Sister series, it offers a gentle, relatable look at blended family dynamics and the importance of resilience. It is an ideal choice for elementary-age readers who need a reminder that everyone starts as a beginner and that family support can make any mountain feel smaller.
