I'm Not Very Good At It

by Darrel Gregory, Ari Miller (Illustrator)

Overview

A story of mindfulness, self-confidence, and positivity, I'm Not Very Good at It features a young girl who believes she's not good at the things that her mother asks her to do. Although she is eager to help, the girl claims that her brain is telling her she's not good at certain things, so therefore, it must be right.

Through the loving guidance of her mother, the girl opens her mind to the possibility that she doesn't always have to listen to her brain. By exploring other modes of wisdom, the young girl discovers that she can be good at many things, as long as she tries.

About the Author

Darrel Gregory was inspired to write this story after hearing his granddaughter say "Okay, but I'm not very good at it." He hopes the book will help children to recognize at an early age that they don't always have to listen to the noise their brains make, and he hopes children will be invited to explore the possibility of trying regardless of the result.

Darrel lives in Edmonton, Alberta, with his two granddaughters nearby. I'm Not Very Good at It is his first children's book. He is currently working on his next book.
