When Sophie Thinks She Can't...

Reach for this book when your child starts to push away a puzzle, a math problem, or a new skill while declaring, I can't do it. It is the perfect antidote to the fixed mindset meltdown. Through the eyes of Sophie, a relatable young girl struggling to build a tangram, the story introduces the transformative power of the word yet. It validates the hot, prickly feeling of frustration while providing a practical cognitive bridge to perseverance. Molly Bang uses her signature vibrant colors and expressive art to show that intelligence isn't a fixed trait but a muscle that grows with exercise. Ideal for children ages 4 to 8, this book helps parents model patience and shifts the focus from the final result to the beauty of the learning process itself.
