Children's & Educational; Picture storybooks; Early learning: first experiences

A beautifully illustrated story about learning and making mistakes -- If we don't get things right away, we'll try again another day.

Bodies grow and brains do, too. Always learning -- me and you.

If we don't get things straight away, we'll try again another day.

We all know learning can be hard and life skills don't always come right away ... sometimes, we need to keep trying! A rhythmic and fun read-aloud from the trusted author of All Bodies Are Good Bodies and From My Head To My Toes, I Say What Goes, this life-affirming book will appeal to fans of All the Ways to Be Smart by Davina Bell.
