Wei Skates On

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the weight of expectations or feels paralyzed by the fear of making a mistake. It is a perfect choice for the young perfectionist who has lost the joy in a favorite hobby because they are focused solely on winning or being the best. Written by Olympic gold medalist Nathan Chen, the story follows young Wei as he prepares for a big skating competition. When the pressure mounting in his head leads to a fall, Wei must learn how to quiet his inner critic and rediscover the simple spark of fun that drew him to the ice in the first place. This gentle narrative is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who need to understand that even the greatest champions feel nervous and that true success is found in the joy of the journey, not just the trophy at the end.
