A Whale Of A Mistake

We all know that mistakes are the stepping-stones to success. But what happens when your misstep weighs you down, makes you feel miserable as if there’s no tomorrow? Children have these negative feelings too and that’s what makes this book ideal for introducing the idea of moving on even after a terrible blunder.

The text first describes that low feeling that slowly assumes gigantic proportions and swallows you whole. The child’s experience becomes unbearable until they look up at the night sky to see that even stars are not perfect. Then the mood gently moves towards positivity and one can almost feel the light at the end of the tunnel.

Gorgeously illustrated with clever wordplay! Available at public libraries in Singapore.
