Summary:

"In this illustrated short chapter book, two Kenyan orphans get to experience the joy of playing ice hockey."-- Provided by publisher.

"Kenyan orphans Kitoo and Nigosi spend their days studying, playing soccer, helping their elders with chores around the orphanage and reading from the limited selection of books in their library. When the librarian gives Kitoo a copy of Sports Around the World, he becomes fascinated by an image of the Canadian national men's ice hockey team. Then one day the fates align and Kitoo finds a pair of beat-up old rollerblades, he teaches himself to skate and dreams of one day playing hockey like the athletes in his book. But you can't play ice hockey in Kenya, can you?" -- Back cover
