Gravity Rocks

Gravity Rocks is designed for a child that is now ready to learn to snowboard and for the adult who is preparing the child (or perhaps themselves) for their first snowboard lesson. Through rhyme and playful illustration, the story carries readers through the events of a first day mountain experience.

Brett and his best friend Jibbin, a Helmutt, are off on a mountain adventure. They start their day early and travel to their new mountain school of snow. They meet their teacher Lizz and other students in their group lesson. They learn safe riding practices, basic snowboarding skills and snowboarding terminology. Brett and Jibbin have a wonderful day on the snow.

Reading this book with your child will generate a level of excitement. An understanding of what will happen before, during and after the lesson will be established. Key information is provided to help set realistic expectations for the first lesson as well as provide insights on gear and logistics. Terminology and illustrations are provided to assist in learning and visualizing key movements of snowboarding. A Question and Answer section and Gear Checklist are provided to assist in preparation for the big day.

We hope that you find this book enjoyable, the antics of Jibbin entertaining and the content helpful as you venture out and enjoy the slopes together!

Gravity Rocks! Enjoy and slide on!
