Reach for this book when your child is facing a developmental milestone or a new activity that feels physically or emotionally daunting. Whether it is the first day of school or learning to ride a bike, Mel Fell provides a playful metaphor for the necessary 'drop' before we can find our momentum. It normalizes the fear of falling and reframes it as a brave first step toward success. The story follows Mel, a confident kingfisher who decides today is the day she will fly. The unique vertical orientation of the book requires readers to physically turn the pages as Mel plunges toward the water. This tactile experience mirrors the character's journey, teaching resilience and self-reliance through a gentle, humorous lens. It is a perfect choice for building a growth mindset in children ages 4 to 8.
