Description
A New York Times Bestseller!
Poppy, the adorable, persistent, dreaming-big pig, has a new adventure in store for her: the World Games ice-skating championship in Paris!
Poppy is nervous about meeting so many new people in a new place. But, ever courageous and supported by her family (Emma, too!), Poppy embarks upon this exciting adventure head-on. She meets a snowboarding Panda, a Maltese who skies, and two fellow skaters, a Crane and a Kangaroo. Poppy begins to realize that although these animals look different, act different, and are from different places, they are all the same at heart. They all smile in the same language!
Advance Praise
"Poppy is a spunky heroine who can inspire little ones, and the ending carries dreaming into adulthood. Bowers' art captures the story's many amusing moments as well as Poppy's literal ups and downs. Yamaguchi's motto? ‘Always dream.'"-Booklist
"For the youngest of listeners, the themes found in The Little Engine That Could continue to inspire. Former U.S. Olympic figure-skater Yamaguchi has penned a new version, complete with American Idol flash and glamour...A sincere thank-you from Yamaguchi to her family and fans. As celebrity books go...it's a cut above many, and the prose styling is refreshingly restrained."-Kirkus
"Olympic figure skating champion, Dancing with the Stars winner, and Bay Area resident Kristi Yamaguchi drives the point home with fun and flair...The illustrations featuring Poppy and all the animals in her world, including the impala skating instructor and a high-heeled lioness supermodel, are wonderful."-San Francisco Chronicle
