When Patti McGee first saw a skateboard, she was one of the earliest people to ever step on one. Years later, she entered the 1964 National Skateboard Championship and wowed the judges wit her rolling handstand—earning a perfect score and first place in the women's division! Patti went on to become the first-ever professional female skateboarder, touring around the country and proudly proving that anyone can skate.
This inspiring picture book depicts the start of Patti's love for skateboarding and the victory that secured her spot in sports history.
