What’s one of the most important lessons a child can learn?
It’s not how to be successful.
Or even that it’s important to be… successful.
Instead, it’s how important it is to be willing, able, and un-afraid to fail… try… and fail again.
What readers are saying
★★★★★
“Very sweet story following a parent’s wish for their child (in this case, depicted as an extremely cute firefly) to make mistakes and to collect failures because a big part of dreaming big and becoming who you are is trying hard things, making mistakes, messing up, and then picking yourself up and starting all over again.”
★★★★★
“The art for this book is ADORABLE and it goes so well with the message. … I think this book is a great way to start conversations (especially with young children) about how to fail, and then, how to continue.”
★★★★★
“love the story, love the message, and love the little green guy, what a great book to read together with your kid!”
