Bookroo's summary

Lester the cat is hesitant to join his adventurous siblings at the skate park. While Esther, Chester, Hester, and Sylvester fearlessly shred, Lester worries about risking one of his nine lives. But the thrill of their fun is too tempting, and he decides to try. After a wipeout, will Lester find the courage to get back on the board? With his family's encouragement, he might just discover the joy of trying new things. Can Lester overcome his fears and join the fun, or will he remain a fraidy-cat forever?

From the publisher

In this family-oriented picture book, one brave cat discovers how rad trying new things can be!

Esther, Chester, Hester, and Sylvester are stoked to shred at the skate park! But unlike his daring brothers and sisters, Lester is a total fraidy-cat. Skateboarding doesn’t come easily to him—and with only nine lives to spare, why should he risk one on the half-pipe? When Lester sees how much fun his family is having, he decides to give it a shot anyway . . . only to wipe out! With the encouragement of his supportive siblings, Lester gets back up and tries again.
