Skateboard Mom

A parent might reach for this book when dealing with a child's struggles over sharing, or simply to find a funny story that flips family roles upside down. An eight-year-old boy is thrilled to get a skateboard for his birthday, but his joy turns to frustration when his mom tries it and rediscovers her own love for the sport. She gets so into it, she won't give the board back. This book humorously explores feelings of jealousy and impatience from a child's perspective. For ages 5 to 8, it's a lighthearted and silly read that opens up conversations about sharing, compromise, and seeing parents as individuals with their own passions.
