A cute story about a girl who faces her fear about skipping after watching her family and friends double dutch. An encouraging story for kids to not be afraid to try something new! I really enjoyed the sound track that went along with the story!
Thanks for letting me listen to this story!

This is a high-quality audiobook production with a full soundtrack, jump rope sounds, and playground noises with narration by Melinda Sewak. Melinda's voice is soft, excited, and inviting. It feels like I'm sitting on my front stoop and watching kids playing double dutch on the sidewalk.
The main character is walking the reader through what it feels like to watch others play a game she wishes to participate in, but she is struggling with confidence before her peers. The character uses her skill with hula hooping and skating to build her courage for the double dutch game. This is a sweet story about trusting yourself and how our family and community encourage us.
Thank you to DeAnn Wiley, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to and review this audiobook. All opinions and viewpoints expressed in this review are my own.

I received a copy of this audiobook from netGalley for a honest review.
I loved this audiobook about a girl whose family and friends do double Dutch but she's not sure she'd be good at it or at least not as good as she is at other things. She finally works up the courage to try after watching for awhile and is surprised by how much fun, joy and good she is at it. I would highly recommend this book for kids afraid of trying something new.

I thought it was a cute story about trying new things even if you're worried you might not be good at it. I really enjoyed the descriptions and audio effects around the jump rope.

This is a short, cute, lively little audiobook that brought me back to my childhood days of skipping rope at school. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me listen to this
