Will Dorothy Hamill Get a Book Deal or Make the Project Publish Shortlist?
Tags: Children's Project-Publish
THE MARKET: Dorothy Hamill's Skatey Katey is available for publication. Will it get a book deal or make the Project Publish Shortlist by September 17, 2007? If either of these happens, shares are worth $100. If neither happens, shares are worth $0.
THE AUTHOR: Olympic figure skater Dorothy Hamill and Ellen Levy-Sarnoff, producer of the “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” TV show, are teaming up to write a series of children’s storybooks about a little bunny learning to ice skate.
THE LOWDOWN: Olympic gold-medalist Dorothy Hamill brings her own personal experience to this spirited tale of Katey O’Hare, a little rabbit who dreams of becoming the best ice skater in the whole wide world. When Katey’s mother surprises her with her first pair of ice skates, she rushes to the local pond – only to discover that skating is not as easy as it looks. Frustrated, Katey wants to give up her dream and never skate again. Her mother, however, convinces her to try again and gives her ice skating lessons with a big burly bear named Mr. Molokoff. The heavily accented Mr. Molokoff, who calls his new student Skatey, teaches her the basics of skating and, as she progresses, many nifty tricks. Most importantly, he teaches the little rabbit that it will take the 4 P’s: Practice, Practice, Practice – and Passion – to realize her dream. With her newfound confidence and skill, Skatey Katey, as she has become known to all, once again dreams of becoming the world’s best ice skater. And for very first time, she believes dreams really can come true.
THE BUZZ: Referred from a literary agent actively representing the book. See market advice.

A definite winner. The kids might not know who Dorothy is, but the parents do for sure.

This sounds like the kind of book I’d buy for my granddaughter. Although a lot would depend on the illustrations.

The content sounds a little trite. However— with the timing cycle of books, I’ll bet they can roll it out right before the next winter olympics… and it will sell. Other celebs have written kiddie books (Madonna, Jamie Lee Curtis, Whoopi, etc) and they usually find a home!
