About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the gap between their big expectations and messy reality, or when they need to see that it is okay to be imperfect. In this installment, the famously spirited Junie B. Jones documents her trip to Hawaii in a photo journal, capturing everything from her pre-vacation jitters to the inevitable mishaps that occur when things do not go as planned. It is an excellent choice for normalizing feelings of frustration and embarrassment in a way that feels safe and hilarious. While Junie B. is known for her 'mouthiness' and creative grammar, she provides a relatable mirror for children who feel things deeply and struggle with self-control. This story celebrates the joy of storytelling and the idea that even a 'shipwrecked' day can be a good story if you have the right perspective.
