A unique children’s non-fiction title exploring skiing in all its forms: cultural history, sport, and extreme fun.
From the Stone Age to the ski park, from Greenland expeditions to ski ballet, this vibrant non-fiction picture book takes young readers on a thrilling ride through the history, culture, and fun of skiing.
Why are skis called skis? Who first crossed Greenland on them? How do you ski on water, sand dunes, or even behind a horse? Alongside amazing facts, the book features playful DIY projects—like making skis out of popsicle sticks or building a cardboard snow park—bringing history and sport to life.
