Macanora loves hockey- watching it, thinking about it, and even skating. But when it's time to join the team, his imagination runs wild with all the things that could go wrong. From giant biting plants to a coach who might be a squid, Macanora faces every fear with humor and heart.
With a little encouragement from his mom and dad, Macanora learns that being brave doesn't mean you're never scared-it means you try anyway. Packed with playful illustrations and wacky adventures, this story shows kids that new experiences can be fun and exciting, even if they seem scary at first.
Perfect for young readers who are stepping out of their comfort zone, The Boy Who Feared the Ice is a fun adventure about overcoming fears, building confidence, and finding joy on and off the ice.
Why This Book Matters- Fear is Normal
- Hockey can be intimidating, especially for young players who are still finding their footing.
- Courage grows with practice.
- Sharing our challenges can inspire others to overcome their own.
Whether you read it at home before the first practice or share it in the locker room, The Boy Who Feared the Ice is a reminder that the ice isn't so scary when you take it one stride at a time.
About the AuthorAt just five years old, Edwin Villemaire turned his own first-year hockey fears into a story to help other kids.
Since sharing his story Edwin has been featured in the media, and even dropped the puck with Daniel Alfredsson at an Ottawa Senators game!
