If your child points their skis downhill and refuses to turn, you’re not alone. Meet Swoosh—the friend who makes turning fun, not scary.
Your child starts moving... and immediately goes straight down, gaining speed until they panic-stop or crash.
They stiffen their legs in a wedge, refusing to shift weight because "turning feels scary."
You say "Turn left!", they hear "Blah blah blah." Instructions feel like pressure.
Kids turn when they feel safe and playful. That’s exactly what this story is designed to do.
Swoosh is a friendly dinosaur who skis at night. The story gives your child a special mission on the snow. Instead of thinking about "edges" or "shifting weight," they focus on the game.
The result? Natural, confident turns.
Watercolor-style illustrations with a cozy, magical winter feel and rhyming.
The book also goes through some skiing safety so kids understand they need to be safe.
The book includes a Turning Guide for parents (in specific editions) that explains exactly how to translate the story into action on the slopes. This guide will help ensure you have more ways to help get your child to start turning on the snow.
"It’s one of those ‘kid magic’ moments where they stop thinking about the scary part because they’re busy doing something exciting."
— Tony, Ski Instructor & Author
