A Crash Course For Molly

Reach for this book when your child is facing the physical and emotional 'crashes' that come with learning a new, high-stakes skill like riding a bike. It is the perfect antidote to the shame or frustration a child feels when their body does not quite do what their mind wants it to do yet. The story follows Molly, a young pig who is eager to master her bicycle but finds herself tumbling more often than gliding. Through Molly's experiences, the book explores the delicate balance of pride, embarrassment, and the grit required to try one more time. It is a gentle, humorous way to normalize the messy middle of the learning process for preschoolers and young elementary students, reminding them that every expert was once a beginner who fell down.
