About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is spiraling after a mistake or feels they must be the best at everything they try. It addresses the heavy burden of perfectionism through the charming story of Leila, a high-achieving young witch who is used to winning every trophy. When she enters a baking competition and finds her skills lacking, she experiences a relatable moment of frustration and failure. This story is perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who struggle with the fear of being 'bad' at something new. It gently shifts the focus from individual achievement to the joy of learning and the warmth of family support. Parents will appreciate how it validates the frustration of failing while providing a healthy model for asking for help and finding satisfaction in the process rather than just the result.
