Goodreads

As much as Lolly loves ice skating, the minute she gets in front of a crowd she shuts right down. After working up the muster to try out for a skating show,  Lolly is disappointed that she gets cast as an unmoving snowman.  When another skater hurts her ankle, Lolly steps up and gets her chance to shine as the skater she knows she can be.

Setting aside the discomfort of Lolly’s opportunity appearing thanks to another child’s injury, this book would be helpful for children who are feeling any kid of performance anxiety, or are worried about attempting something new.
