Cielo La Patinadora (Skater Cielo) - by Rachel Katstaller (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Meet Cielo, a fierce skater who finds that facing your fear of failing gives you the courage to persevere!

¡A Cielo le encanta andar en patineta! Pero un día tiene un accidente en una rampa nueva, tras lo cual siente vergüenza y miedo de volver a caerse frente a tanta gente. Con la ayuda de algunos nuevos amigos, Cielo se arma de valor para volver a intentarlo (una y otra vez) y aprende que caer no es fallar: la verdadera fiereza no se trata de lograr el truco perfecto, se trata de levantarse tras la caída.

Cielo loves to skateboard! But when she messes up on a new ramp she's embarrassed and afraid to fall again in front of so many people. With the help of some new friends, Cielo summons the courage to try again (and again, and again), and learns that falling is not failing--true fierceness isn't about landing the perfect trick, it's about picking yourself back up when you don't.
