About the Book

fearless

Marie

A heartwarming story about a shy little girl, her three lively brothers, and one magical day at the ice rink that changed everything. At first, Marie wasn’t so sure about skating. It looked cold, slippery, and a bit scary. But when she saw kids twirling, laughing, even helping a friend in a wheelchair glide across the ice, something stirred inside her.

With her dad by her side and a sparkle of courage in her heart, Marie took a deep breath… and gave it a try. What happened next? Let’s just say the ice didn’t know what hit it.
Told with warmth and gentle humor, this story celebrates curiosity, family, and finding your brave—even if it starts with a shaky step. It’s perfect for children ages 1–12 and for any parent who’s ever seen a quiet moment turn into a proud memory.
Whether your child is facing a new sport, a big change, or just a tough day, Fearless Marie reminds them that courage doesn’t shout—it whispers, “Let’s go.”
