About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the 'I want it now' mindset or becomes visibly frustrated when things do not go exactly according to plan. Through the humorous lens of Princess Glori, children explore the pitfalls of impatience and the unintended consequences of trying to rush life's big moments. It is a perfect choice for kids who are learning that some of the best things in life require waiting and a bit of trial and error. Rachel Flynn uses a playful twist on traditional fairy tale tropes to deliver a gentle lesson on self-regulation and managing expectations. At about 130 pages, it is an ideal length for second or third graders who are transitioning into independent chapter books. Parents will appreciate how the story validates a child's desire for results while showing, through comedy, why slowing down and being thoughtful is usually the better path.
