The Worry-Worry Whale Made 32 Mistakes - Hardcover

by Deborah Diesen (Author), Dan Hanna (Illustrator)

Turn worries about going back to school into moments of confidence! An empowering standalone picture book starring Willa Whale who was first introduced in the New York Times-bestselling Pout-Pout Fish series.

Willa is discouraged!
She's learning something new.
She's tried and tried, but no success:
"I don't know what to do!"

She's sure she'll never get it.
"I'm missing what it takes!"
But could it be a good thing
To make thirty-two mistakes?

Swim along with Willa Whale as she tackles going back to school and explores the experience of trying, practicing, and making mistakes in the classroom. She might just discover that everyone makes mistakes when they try new things--even grown-ups and the Pout-Pout Fish!--and that mistakes are an important part of learning and growing.
