About Easy Peasy

For ages 4 – 8

The blurb

Ruby loves her shiny new red roller skates.

She’s never roller skated before, but she’s sure it will be easy peasy! So when her dad offers to help her learn to skate, Ruby says no.

But things don’t go as planned …

What I like about Book

Easy Peasy is a fun story about determination, persistence and resilience. It’s about the joy of learning to do something by yourself but also knowing that it’s okay to ask for help.

When Ruby receives a pair of shiny, sparkly, red roller skates for her birthday, she loves them so much that she sleeps with them in her bed.

    Nice. What kid hasn’t slept with a favorite toy. I Army infantry training, they taught us to sleep with our rifle…and one eye open.

      😅😅😅 I don’t really think that would have been funny, Steve, but it is when comparing to roller skates. Thank you for your service to your country and the world.
