Nobody teaches kids what to do when the plan fails
They learn to spell and multiply. They don't learn that frustration is information. This book gives them the words — and a laugh — for the moments that matter most.
What your child picks up along the way
- Why mistakes happen, and that they happen to everyone
- How to pause, look at what changed, and try the next thing
- The difference between "it's broken" and "it's not working yet"
- That the funniest stories usually start with something going wrong
The plan will fail. This book is for the minute after.
