About This Book

Through bouncy rhyme and vibrant art, it explores themes of anxiety, frustration, and the eventual joy found in letting go of rigid expectations. It is a lighthearted way to show children ages 3 to 7 that being 'imperfect' can actually be part of the fun, helping them build the resilience needed to move past life's little hiccups.
