My littlun loves it. Must have read it at least ten times today. She now tells me what’s happening when I turn the page. ‘Sidney not playing on the swings’, ‘board broken’ etc.
Only criticism I have is that all the kids are white boys, and it’s always good to see some diversity - but most kids books are guilty of this to be fair.
Glad she likes it, totally get the white bias tried to make the skaters a variety of skin tones etc
I’m now working on a Christmas story where the main character (one of Sidney’s friends) is female and another BMX themed book with a non binary character! So much to take I to consideration
I went with Mike V because he agreed (first one I approached!) I thought it would boost sales because -of course- he would share it on his social media…not a bloody word online from him about the book!
