Reach for this book when your child feels paralyzed by the need to be perfect or feels like a failure because their reality doesn't match their imagination. Babymouse is headed to the beach with high expectations of being a surfing queen, but she quickly realizes that sand, waves, and surfing are much harder and messier than they look in magazines. It is a lighthearted but meaningful exploration of managing expectations and finding joy in the middle of a 'disastrous' vacation. Through Babymouse's signature pink hued daydreams and humorous mishaps, children ages 7 to 10 will see their own insecurities reflected in a safe, funny way. The story touches on the pressure of social comparison and the sting of embarrassment, ultimately teaching resilience. Parents will appreciate how it validates the frustration of being a beginner while encouraging kids to keep trying, even when they feel like a total klutz.
