What happens when a little girl refuses to stop getting up? Rosie has a dream to win the Grand Neighborhood Roller-Skating Show but right now she can barely make it three rolls without sitting down hard on the pavement. Her helmet is sideways, her knee pads are crooked, and the other kids zoom past her like rockets. But Rosie has two secret weapons: a song she hums to herself (dum-da-dee-da-doo), and a grandma on the porch who believes in her completely. Day after day, Rosie laces up her skates and pushes off into the morning. She falls. She gets star-shaped bandages. She gets back up. She falls again. And every single time, she finds herself humming, dusting off her knees, and rolling just a little bit farther than before. With its bouncy, joyful rhythm and bold, irresistible energy, this picture book celebrates the kind of courage that isn't loud or flashy - it's the quiet, stubborn, beautiful courage of trying again. Grandma's gentle wisdom ("Every fall is just a secret step toward flying") gives young readers a phrase they'll carry with them long after the last page. Perfect for children ages 3 to 5, this story is a natural read-aloud that begs to be performed complete with wiggles, sound effects, and one very spectacular spin. It's a book for every child who has ever felt wobbly, every parent who has cheered from the sidelines, and every grandparent whose love has quietly held someone up. Whether your little one is learning to skate, ride a bike, pump their legs on a swing, or simply brave something new, Rosie's story will have them jumping up to practice their own best moves and remind them that every single fall is bringing them closer to flying.
