Summary
Cielo’s Skateboarding Secret: Finding Fierceness in Falling
Cielo 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. 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. True fierceness isn’t about landing the perfect trick, it’s about picking yourself back up when you don’t.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
* “An overall charmer, Katstaller’s ode to the etherealness and camaraderie of skateboarding pops and snaps from page to page.” –Kirkus, starred review
* “Katstaller’s “steezy” (skater-speak for stylish, according to the glossary) mixed-media illustrations are both child-friendly and sophisticated, conveying emotion and intensity via color, shape, and dynamic shifts in perspective.” –Horn Book, starred review
“The expressive art of Skater Cielo flies off the pages in this celebration of courage and community, and Rachel Katstaller’s energetic prose nails the fears, tears and pure joy of the sport. Whether you’re a skater or not, you’ll cheer Cielo on again, and again, and again.” – NPR, Best Book of 2022
