About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a day of 'almosts' or 'not quites' and needs a gentle reminder that persistence can be fun. It is perfect for the early reader who gets easily discouraged by small setbacks or loses focus when things don't go exactly as planned. Curious George provides a familiar, safe space to practice the emotional skill of staying on task with a smile. In this adventure, George is tasked with keeping track of a hat, but a gust of wind turns a simple errand into a high-stakes chase. As the hat travels through various obstacles, George must use his problem-solving skills and resilience to keep following it. The story emphasizes that while we can't control the wind, we can control how hard we try to catch what it blows away. It is a lighthearted, developmentally appropriate bridge into independent reading that models a healthy growth mindset.
