Pedersen brings to life the power of a child’s imagination to entertain with her new children’s picture book, Ava’s Adventure, illustrated by Penny Weber. When Ava is invited by a friend to go snowboarding with him, her parents say no, explaining that they can’t afford to send her on a weekend ski trip. Disappointed and frustrated, Ava escapes to her room to sulk. But what she discovers there is that her own creativity and some simple toys can be more exciting and fulfilling than any snowboard ride.
