Meet Cielo, a brave and fierce girl who loves to skateboard! But when she messes up on a new ramp, she's embarrassed and afraid to fall again in front of so many people. It's hard enough that she couldn't get it right; it's even worse that everyone saw it happen. And with her confidence shaken, even the tricks that seemed easy before are suddenly impossible to land. She's so upset, she puts her board away in a closet, convinced she's the worst skateboarder in the world.
But with the help of some new friends, Cielo summons the courage to try again (and again, and again), and learns that falling is not failing. In fact, true fierceness isn't about landing the perfect trick: it's about picking yourself back up when you don't. This encouraging and empowering picture book starring a determined young skater girl is a reminder to young readers that facing your fear of failing gives you the courage to persevere!
