"Molly was a skier. She skied the blues and blacks. She'd wake up early every day to lay down some fresh tracks." So begins "Molly Rides," a simple story of a young girl who takes on a new challenge and through patience and hard work discovers that she can have fun in the snow, regardless of what's on her feet. With lyrical rhyming meter, AASI Certified Snowboard Instructor Adam Ford spins a story that he's very familiar withlearning how to snowboardand through it emphasizes both the work of mastering a new skill and the pure joy of snow sports. Award-winning illustrator Brian Berley brings the engaging text to life with eye-popping illustrations of Molly and her dog Bacon that evoke the history of skiing with a thoroughly modern touch.
