A joyful new picture book about finding the courage to jump into something that intimidates you, from the author and illustrator of Homegrown.
When Shay's family gathers for a day at Granny's house, there's one thing she can count on: there will be double Dutch. Shay would much prefer if her family would join her in another activity, like rollerblading or hula hooping (the stuff Shay does best!).
