Written by Kara Kootstra, Illustrated by Regan Thomson
This book relates the boyhood of hockey champion Bobby Orr, who worked and took every opportunity to practice either through just playing or having coaches on a team teach him the fine art of skating. The story shows how even if you have a dream it needs hard work and practice to achieve the end success.
