Surfer Chick

A parent might reach for this book when their child is excited about trying a new activity, like swimming lessons or riding a bike, but feels intimidated when it's time to actually start. This sunny, rhyming story is about a little chick who wants to be a cool surfer just like her dad. She's eager but scared of the big waves. With her dad's gentle encouragement, she practices, takes a few tumbles, and ultimately finds the courage to catch a wave. It's a wonderful, lighthearted tale for ages 3 to 7 about perseverance, bravery, and the joy of accomplishing something new. The positive father-daughter relationship provides a warm, supportive backdrop for the theme of building self-confidence.
