We celebrated our friend's birthday at the skate park Saturday afternoon. It was our first visit there, and Pearl is very interested in skating now. Do you know of a good book or video about girls/kids and skateboarding?
Not that you can't google yourself like I just did, but it looks like there are some girl skateboard sites--not quite the age level you might be looking for now, but if Carrie is like CG, she will like watching video of older girls:
