DeNouncer's Dudette

Australian roller derby's DeNouncer Dude, Robert Anderson, wrote for his young children and others interested in a kid's book about swinging elbows, whips, pushes and the glory of an individual within a team. The straighforwardly named Mimi discovers her life's love in I Know a Girl ... Who Skates Roller Derby! If not quite as magical as some of the work by Dr. Seuss — whose first book And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street has just celebrated its 75th anniversary — it might be relevant to remember that Anderson had to write around his own two- and five-year-olds, while Seuss was able to be magical without any youngsters underfoot.
