BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
This gorgeously illustrated story is about Mira, a young girl who has a history of quitting things before giving them a fair try and before being able to really develop her skills. She wants to be perfect at things right away and is afraid of making mistakes or having people laugh at her attempts. Mira eventually realizes that trying is better than giving up, and she begins to develop some skills and feel good about her efforts.
I absolutely loved the pencil and watercolor illustrations in this book. The characters are darling and diverse. The story has an encouraging and relatable message about trying and not giving up. I imagine this being a lovely lap read with a child or grandchild who struggles with perfectionism or self-confidence.
