Trying

This book has a wonderful message. My kids have this notion that if there is something that they are interested in (a sport, art, etc.) that they will be automatically be good at it. I love that the message of this book is that it takes time and perseverance to develop skills/talents.

Gifting, and encouraging my grandchildren with this awesomely written story. The clarity is pleasant and inclusive, allowing them to take part in what is happening throughout the story. It's a time center and patient write, carefully leading the readers to a place of possibilities and imagination. I actually read it twice before gifting it to my grandchildren.

I’ve purchased this book, and all of Kobi’s books really, multiple times as gifts for friends, family, and co-workers. They’re beautifully illustrated and have such strong and moving messages. Highly recommend.

I bought this book to share with a kindergarten class for read across America day. I love that throughout the whole book it celebrates the journey of life. It celebrates failing as attempts to succeed. This is a great read and I am so glad I added it to my home library.

Absolutely incredible book about perseverance and giving yourself grace. The ending had me sobbing.

Love this book. Love the message. Love the illustrations!!

Great message for young and old.

Discovered one of his books by chance while walking at Target a week ago... Read over and over with my 4 years old and have ordered 4 more of his books after a week. Just magical! So grateful to have found these books, I read to my year old every night since she was born, this author's books are add on to any collection. No matter your age these will be amazing for any readers. Highly recommend his books!

Arrived earlier than expected, very well packed. Amazing book with beautiful text and pictures. I'm very excited to have this book in my library. Thank you.

A friend recommended this author to us and I've been obsessed with his books. It has a great perspective on failure and will resonate with many adults. I

I got this book for my daughter, and it’s quickly become a favourite. The message about not being afraid to fail and always trying is something I love sharing with her. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story is simple yet so meaningful. It’s a great reminder for both kids and adults that the journey is as important as the destination. My daughter finds it inspiring, and it’s sparked some lovely conversations about not giving up, no matter how hard something seems.

Amé esta historia y sus ilustraciones, es un libro hermoso para tener en casa y compartir con los niños que dudan de sí mismos.

This is a beautifully illustrated book with detailed and evocative monochrome drawings. The story is simple, the message timeless and thought provoking, and is relevant to children as it is to adults.
