"This book makes important points about mitigating anxiety in young children" - Kirkus Reviews"Absolutely super delightful! It is the perfect message "mistakes" to learn at a very young age. Each elementary school class and library should have copies of this amazing book. Having taught elementary, and first grade especially for many years, this is exactly how these young children/students feel. They do think mistakes are bad, but it is very important that they learn mistakes are really the best tickets to their successful future. We learn best through our mistakes. I especially love the manner this book is presented in such a positive, caring and loving way." - ITEEA


Lucy was always cheerful and adventurous, but one day she started worrying about everything. She didn’t want to try new things because she didn’t want to make mistakes. The only place she was happy was at her dad’s restaurant, where she would work with her best friend, Evan. It is there that she discovers that something beautiful can come from making a mistake!


A captivating and encouraging story about fear of failure. Based on a true story for children ages 6 and up.
