About It's Okay To Make Mistakes
Product Description In a tradition of Todd Parr's fan-favorite It's Okay to Be Different, a book about embracing mistakes and the joy of happy accidents. Todd Parr's bestselling books have reminded kids to embrace differences, to be thankful, to love one another, and to be themselves. It's Okay to Make Mistakes embraces life's happy accidents, the mistakes and mess-ups that can lead to self discovery. Todd Parr brings a timely theme to life with his signature bold, kid-friendly illustrations and a passion for making readers feel good about themselves, encouraging them to try new things, experiment, and dare to explore new paths. From coloring outside the lines and creating a unique piece of art to forgetting an umbrella but making a new friend, each page offers a kid-friendly take on the importance of taking chances, trying new things, and embracing life, mistakes and all. From School Library Journal PreS-K—Children and animals each make one of the 13 mistakes that appear on the verso of each spread. Socks are mismatched, an umbrella is left at home, and shoes are not tied properly. After the characters say, "Uh-Oh!" the scenario continues onto the facing page, where they are told that it's okay to make mistakes because, "you might meet someone new," "you can always ask for help," or "you can always clean it up." The bright, bold digital illustrations are outlined in black and set against colorful backgrounds, making the book perfect for group sharing and discussing.—Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, AB, Canada From Booklist This appealing picture book assures young readers that it’s okay to try new things. Each two-page spread introduces an action on the left page (“It’s okay to fall down”), followed by a positive result on the right (“You can always get back up”). The repeating pattern—dilemma and resolution—creates a nice rhythm for a read-aloud and provides a platform for brainstorming additional examples. Readers are reassured that these common experiences (spilling milk, not knowing an answer, being shy) can happen to anyone, and they will receive positive messages about confidence and empathy. Parr’s distinctive cartoonlike illustrations feature vivid colors set off by heavy black outlining, and are large enough to be effective in group settings. Closely aligned to the text, the illustrations also add plenty of whimsy and humor. This selection will be equally effective for one-on-one sharing or storytimes, and it is sure to be just as popular as Parr’s previous crowd-pleasers, especially The Feelings Book (2000) and It’s Okay to Be Different (2001). Preschool-Grade 1. --Kathleen McBroom Review Kansas CITY Star: Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein...Well I've found another to add to the list: Todd Parr.
