Reach for this book when your child is a perfectionist who gets easily frustrated when their creative projects do not look exactly like the picture. It is a gentle tool for kids who focus so much on winning or being the best that they forget to enjoy the act of creating. The story follows Kylie Jean as she enters an art contest, dealing with the high stakes she sets for herself and the pressure of competing against friends. Through Kylie Jean's experience, children learn that true success comes from the love of the craft and the effort put into the process. It is a relatable, age-appropriate story for the early elementary years that helps bridge the gap between being a hobbyist and learning to handle competition with grace. Parents will appreciate how it models perseverance and the importance of finding joy in one's own unique talents rather than constant comparison.
