Praise for My Left Skate from author Lorna Schultz Nicholson!

“This powerfully written story of Eliezer Sherbatov has multiple layers of determination, perseverance, and courage. It is so much more than a sport story and captures immigration, war, and Jewish pride during trying times. Anna Rosner packed a lot into MY LEFT SKATE, a book for all ages, adults included. It should be in every school library!”

— Lorna Schultz Nicholson

Praise for My Left Skate from journalist and editor of The Yorkton, Calvin Daniels, & Toronto Sportswriter Sam Laskaris

The first reviews of My Left Skate are coming in! Sports Journalist Calvin Daniels writes, “I have been fortunate to interview a number of Hockey Hall of Famers through the years, and have read many sports-related books, and none of the stories have been more surprising, interesting and just plain enjoyable to read than My Left Skate by Anna Rosner. His story is a TV miniseries needing to be made. The heart and determination of Sherbatov to play the game he loves should be inspiring to readers of all ages.”

Toronto sportswriter Sam Laskaris writes “Author Anna Rosner provides a rollercoaster journey of Sherbatov’s life in My Left Skate allowing readers to cheer for him on and off the ice.” 

My Left Skate will be released October 2022—learn more about the biography and where to pre-order your copy here!
