The Book of Mistakes: A Books that Build Review

Everyone makes mistakes.  They are essential to helping us grow and learn; however it is so much easier to focus on the positive aspects of making mistakes in hindsight.  Mistakes can be embarrassing, frustrating and downright upsetting.    As children navigate the world, they are constantly making mistakes and learning from them, but it’s how they deal with them that is key.  

The Book of Mistakes by Corinna Luyken is a beautiful book about how leaning into those mistakes and making masterpieces from them…. literally in the case of this story, can turn setbacks into opportunities.  When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!  The book visually communicates that you can always move forward from a mistake.  A great book for a highly sensitive child who is a perfectionist or easily frustrated when making mistakes, whether it be while drawing, with school work or in any aspect of their life.

Recommended for ages 4 and up.
