About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the fallout of a mistake, especially if they feel unfairly blamed or have a 'perfectionist' streak that makes failure feel overwhelming. Apple White is a character who prides herself on being a leader, but her attempt to help fix a school prank actually makes the chaos worse. This story explores the nuance of accountability and how to restore one's reputation through hard work and collaboration rather than just being 'perfect.' Written in a lighthearted diary format for the 8 to 12 age range, it offers a safe space to discuss how intentions don't always match outcomes. It is an excellent choice for kids who need to see that even a 'perfect princess' can stumble and still find a way to make things right through perseverance and teamwork.
