| Description: |
"Follows the ups and downs of a child's typical day, from riding a bike on one's own to camping in the backyard. Win or lose, the child comes out richer for each experience"-- |
| Synopsis: |
If I let my worries get to me, the world could pass me by. Well, I might try and fail sometimes, but Ill never fail to try! Ill take my chances. Come what may, Im going to do it anyway. With a sentiment more adults would do well to follow, author Mark Burrows uses humorous experiences sometimes resulting in embarrassing disasters to encourage youngsters to take a chance in life. From science experiments that go horribly wrong to bike mishaps, sour notes, and timid questions, every day is filled with opportunities for failureand ultimate growththat shape a childs worldview and character. Even grandmas hugs outside of school, which could provide fodder for ridicule, are precious moments that are worth the effort! Illustrator Sally Springer uses a light touch and luminous colors to capture each excruciating moment. Together, words and images of familiar situations provide encouragement for the youngest of children. |
