About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels discouraged by a new hobby or feels like they do not fit the traditional mold of a specific activity. Billie B. Brown is excited to start ballet class, but she quickly realizes that she is not quite as graceful or delicate as the other dancers. Instead of being a perfect butterfly, she feels more like a stomping elephant. This story is a wonderful tool for navigating early feelings of frustration and the pressure to perform. It highlights the importance of finding one's own unique way to participate rather than giving up when things get difficult. With simple text and relatable school-life scenarios, it is perfect for children aged 4 to 7 who are beginning to explore their own identities and talents.
