Commentaire descriptif

Henry’s entire family is crazy for hockey. His mom drives a Zamboni to work, their dog is named ‘Gretzky’ and Henry had hockey pucks for teething rings. So when he cannot hold a stick or skate straight up and down the ice without adding his own moves, his family are devastated: “Henry was a MENACE to hockey.” It is not until he sees his first ice dancing show that he realizes he is meant to do something on skates that does not involve boarding or bodychecking. With a little help from his grandmother, he gets the skates and the encouragement he needs. Mixed media illustrations use scratchy coloured pencils, watercolour highlights and occasional newspaper or cloth collage, giving a simple, homey appeal. Facial expression and body language are used to great effect, conveying Henry’s joy and freedom on the ice as well as his family’s initial dismay. Text is lively and full of quirky detail. Plenty of dialogue brings the voices of Henry and his family to life. Descriptive language is used occasionally to convey Henry’s experience: “The skaters below were like kites – brightly coloured kites, swirling, twirling in the wind.” A warm and encouraging book for children who march to the beat of their own drum.
