Bobby Orr and the Hand-me-down Skates

<p><strong>Even hockey legends start with hand-me-downs. A beautifully illustrated true childhood story about hockey great Bobby Orr.</strong><br /><br />Bobby eats, sleeps and breathes hockey. So when his birthday is coming up, he only wants one thing: new skates. He's seen the exact pair he wants in the shop window: sparkling blades, shiny leather, clean new laces tied in perfect bows. But when Bobby opens his gift, he's dismayed to find hand-me-down skates: scuffed leather, nicked blades, floppy laces. <br /><br />Once Bobby breaks them in, though, he and the hand-me-down skates become inseparable, and he can't imagine life without them... until the brand-new skates come into his life. How can he leave his hand-me-down skates behind?<br /><br /><em>Log Driver's Waltz </em>illustrator Jennifer Phelan brings this classic story to life with timeless, gorgeous art, and Kara Kootsra's words evoke the joy and dedication that Bobby Orr brought to his favourite sport. A perfect gift for readers and fans big and small, this book is destined to be a classic that is reached time and time again.</p>
