Lolly loves to ice skate. When it is just her and her dad on the ice, she can glide, spin, and skate with confidence. But as soon as other people are watching, she freezes and can barely move. Hoping to help her overcome her fears, her dad encourages her to audition for the local ice skating show. The audition does not go well, and Lolly is cast as a snowman whose job is to stand perfectly still. Although she dreams of being part of the snowflake team, she knows performing in front of an audience is too scary. But when one of the snowflakes is injured, Lolly has a chance to step into the spotlight. Can she find the courage to take her place on the ice?
A sweet story about overcoming fears and being brave even when it is scary. Fun illustrations.
