A creature, who thrives on routine, faces unexpected changes that challenge his comfort zone. When he is tasked with trying something new, does he rise to the challenge or fail miserably?

Loved the message of resilience and continuously trying our best, regardless of what happens. It’s a quirky, fun picture book with an important positive message. Could be a part of a lesson on regulating our emotions or when we try something new.
