Glider, Strider, Skater, Skye - by Daniya Yersain (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"Glider, Strider, Skater, Skye is a poignant and fictional narrative, inspired by the author's own true story, that delicately weaves dreams and reality into a seamless tapestry.

Set in the vibrant city of Montreal-where hockey pulses through the veins of many-this story centers around a young boy named Skye, whose passion for the game is matched by his deep bond with his father. However, their shared love for hockey takes on a unique shape as Skye's father lives with multiple sclerosis, a challenge faced by many families across Canada-a country with the highest prevalence of this invisible disease.

In their world, limitations transform into possibility. Rather than be confined by his father's condition, Skye dreams of new horizons. He imagines the Moon as their magical playground-a place where zero gravity allows them to skate together, unhindered by earthly constraints. Fuelled by this vision, Skye constructs a spaceship, embarking on a visionary adventure where his father's burdens dissolve amidst the stars.

Much more than a child's whimsical flight of fancy, Glider, Strider, Skater, Skye serves as a heartfelt reminder that life's limitations can be transcended through love, perseverance, and the power of dreams. It aims to inspire readers affected by similar challenges, urging all to cherish every moment and celebrate life's shared joys. The story encourages families to transform daunting obstacles into opportunities for extraordinary adventures, reinforcing faith in God, love and gratitude is the true measure of living.
