About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child is feeling frustrated or discouraged after a creative project has failed. This story is for any child who has ever crumpled a drawing, knocked over their own block tower in anger, or felt like giving up. It follows a determined and imaginative young girl as she builds extraordinary things: a roller coaster, a race car, a bridge to a new friend. When her creations inevitably tumble, break, or don't work, she feels the sting of disappointment but learns to see failure as an opportunity for a 'do-over'. Perfect for ages 5 to 8, this book is a powerful tool for nurturing resilience, a growth mindset, and the confidence to try again, celebrating the messy, wonderful process of creation.
