About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is frustrated by their own mistakes or feels like their efforts are never quite right. It's a gentle and humorous story for any child who gets discouraged when things don't go according to plan. The book follows Kazam, a young magician whose tricks always go wonderfully wrong. Instead of a rabbit, she pulls a banana from her hat. Instead of flowers, a tree grows from her wand. This simple story beautifully models resilience and reframes mistakes as happy accidents. For ages 4 to 7, it's a perfect tool for helping perfectionistic little ones embrace the unexpected and find joy in the creative process itself, not just the planned outcome.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The story is gentle and free of sensitive content. The central conflict is internal and situational (frustration with mistakes) and is resolved with a positive, secular message about perspective.
Ideal Reader
A 4 to 6-year-old who exhibits perfectionistic tendencies or gets easily frustrated when their art, building projects, or attempts at new skills don't turn out as planned. This book is for the child who crumbles a drawing because it isn't 'right' or gives up after one 'failure'.
