Growing up can be hard and scary sometimes. This picture book addresses common concerns that young readers might feel, such as feeling nervous doing something for the first time.
Follow a young child who interacts with lots of different animals and explains how to not get discouraged. You can often turn something negative into a positive experience. The overall message is to not give up and that everything is better with friends. My 6 year old daughter and I enjoyed this book because of the beautiful pictures and positive message. She was able to relate to what the child in the story was going through, and liked the different scenarios. It was a simple, yet sweet book. The child is an unknown ethnicity, but is not caucasian.
