Try: Building Confidence for Children

by Joseph S. DiMare, John Wilson (Illustrator)

Overview

A positive message to young readers that every accomplishment begins with trying, and then trying again.

From tying a tie to climbing the highest mountain, kids are encouraged to try their best, no matter how big or small their dreams may be. Playful suggestions teach children to believe in themselves and help encourage curiosity without fear of failure. At the end of the book are special pages for readers to brainstorm and draw things they'd like to try, as well as what they're proud of having already done.

Midwest Book Review

There are so many suggestions of things you can try in this book, that children are bound to resonate with some of them, and the wonderful pages in the latter half of this book, where they can brainstorm things they’d like to try, is a lovely touch.
