Reach for this book when your child is navigating the messy middle of elementary school, particularly if they are feeling the pressure of being a role model or struggling with self comparison.

Through Ramona's eyes, children see that making mistakes is a natural part of growing up. It is a comforting, humorous choice for families adjusting to a new baby or for kids who feel like they are constantly in the shadow of a sibling. The story emphasizes that being imperfect is perfectly fine, providing a gentle ego boost for children who are their own toughest critics.
