librarianryan 's review for:

Bobby Orr and the Hand-Me-Down Skates by Kara Kootstra, Bobby Orr, Jennifer Phelan
5.0
emotional hopeful inspiring medium-paced

This book is double Ohhhhh inducing.  The story is sweet and heartfelt, and true.  Bobby just wanted a shiny new pair of black skates for his birthday, and instead got his big brother’s hand-me-downs.  They didn’t fit perfect, but they worked and allowed him to continue his love of skating and hockey.  He made the skates work, and made memories in them to last a lifetime.  And when the time was right, they became his little brother's hand-me-down skates.
