Why read it?
1 author picked Trying as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My son loves this book that’s a bit on the high-end for a five-year-old. It opens with a boy stumbling upon a master sculptor, and the artwork immediately pulls you into the story.
The boy is encouraged to try to sculpt and becomes discouraged because he’s not quite as good as he’d like to be. He quits but is told to try. I believe that failure isn’t failure but stepping stones to greatness and this book helps me turnkey this belief into my son.
We revisit this book often, and he’s even made me pick up sculpting clay to create…
