Description
Set in the mountains overlooking Vancouver, British Columbia, and its surroundings, this under-five follow-up to the hugely popular On My Walk features a very young child learning to ski.
Another delightful collaboration between Kari-Lynn Winters and Christina Leist, On My Skis takes very young children on a little journey around Vancouver. Whimsical and strikingly original illustrations are set to Winter's irresistibly rhythmic story.

Editorial Reviews
“Small size, short text, and common experiences make this a good choice for reading aloud at home.”
