Katherine Legge’s “Magic Helmet” Book

What if your racing helmet held the magic to make you brave?

 

Kat’s Magic Helmet is an inspiring picture book for kids ages 3–8 about bravery, confidence, and the power of believing in yourself. Based on Katherine Legge’s early days in karting, this empowering story introduces young readers to the thrilling world of racing through the journey of one of motorsport’s most fearless trailblazers.

 

Kat was born with the heart of a racer—always on the move. But in big groups or around new people, she felt shy. That all changed behind the wheel.

 

When her dad surprised her with her very own go-kart and a shiny helmet, Kat discovered something magical: confidence. With her “magic” helmet on, she wasn’t shy anymore—she was bold, brave, and fast.

 

An Inspiring Picture Book for Kids Ages 3-8, perfect for reading along.

This beautifully illustrated picture book follows Kat’s early racing journey—through setbacks, self-doubt, and even a crash that breaks her beloved helmet. But Kat learns that the real magic was never in the helmet. It was in her all along.

 

Based on the real story of professional race car driver Katherine Legge, Kat’s Magic Helmet is a powerful story about believing in yourself, breaking boundaries, and chasing your dreams—on and off the track.

 

 

Perfect for:

• Children ages 3–8 who love inspiring stories
• Parents and teachers looking for empowering role models
• Young racing fans and girls interested in male-dominated fields
• Classrooms exploring perseverance, bravery, and self-confidence
• Any child who has ever felt shy, different, or unsure of themselves

 

“I know firsthand how it feels to be an outsider, having often been the only girl competing against boys. This book is for every kid who’s ever felt unsure or left out. I want them to know they’re not alone—and that they absolutely belong.” - Katherine Legge

Wyatt Miller Takes His First Limited Late Model Victory

Dale Earnhardt's grandson (13) #Wins at Hickory Motor Speedway.

 

NASCAR has a new member of the Earnhardt dynasty making a name for themselves after Wyatt Miller took his first Limited Late Model race victory at Hickory Motor Speedway.

 

Miller, 13, is the son of Kelley Earnhardt-Miller, the son of the great Dale Earnhardt and sister of his legendary son Dale Earnhardt Jr.

 

The Earnhardt family remains iconic in NASCAR, with Amazon Prime Video releasing a docuseries on the late Dale Sr. on Memorial Day Weekend, while Dale Jr. and Kelley could take their JR Motorsports team to the Cup Series after taking part in the Daytona 500.

 

But the family legacy now has a new name making waves on the tarmac after Miller took the checkered flag at the historic 0.363-mile oval known as the 'Birthplace of the NASCAR stars'.

 

Miller was making just his second start and started on pole. He led early on in the 40-lap race before Zach Bringer took the lead until his engine blew up on Lap 32.

 

Miller then took the lead and held off Aiden King on the final lap to come out on top in his No.73 car, sponsored by Bass Pro Shops.

 

"We had a really good car," Miller said in Victory Lane. "I was catching Zach, and then he blew up. I think Aiden tried to rattle my cage, but it didn't work."

 

The future is unfolding right before you.

At a track with so much history to the Earnhardt legacy, @wyattwmiller73 , the grandson of Dale Earnhardt, scored his first limited late model win last night at @hickoryspeedway in just his second limited late model start. pic.twitter.com/kxWtPo809E
