Lorsque papa Lapin suggère d'aller patiner sur le lac gelé, le grand frère et la grande soeur de Bella sont très enthousiastes. Contrairement à eux, la petite lapine est anxieuse. Si elle tombait, se moquerait-on d'elle? Après quelques mots d'encouragement, Bella se sent plus confiante. Elle saute sur la glace et découvre la joie du patinage! Un livre idéal pour aider les petits à bâtir leur confiance en soi.

When Daddy Rabbit suggests skating on the frozen lake, Bella's big brother and sister are excited. But little Bella is nervous. What if she falls over and everyone laughs at her? Gently encouraged by the others, Bella gains confidence and steps out onto the ice - and discovers that she loves skating!
