Marty Donnellan is a lifelong resident of Atlanta, GA, USA. She is a writer and illustrator, doll maker, skater and skating teacher, nursing home art teacher, grain growing enthusiast and founder/director of Joy Community Kitchen, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit food charity.
She is the author of seven books. Four are stories set in the imaginary world of frendibles, two are non-fiction "how-to" manuals (teaching doll making and roller skating), and the latest is a cozy mystery.
Marty Donnellan has worked as a roller skating coach at All American Skating Rink near Atlanta, GA, USA. She has taught scores of people how to skate, and many others how to improve their skating.
"Teach Someone to Roller Skate" is a complete curriculum for a 4-to-6 week beginning roller skating course for all ages. Marty has used it with individual students of all ages, as well as school PE groups. It makes a great gift for parents whose kids are approaching skating age.
By studying Marty's clear text and engaging illustrations, you, too, can teach someone to roller skate - including yourself or your child - with no professional instructor present. Or, you can build on existing skills. Most of the skills taught are transferrable to beginning outdoor inline skating and even ice skating.
Below are some of the topics covered:
