Reach for this book when your child is feeling frustrated by a project that isn't going as planned, or when you want to nurture a sense of humor about life's unexpected detours. It is a brilliant tool for discussing how we define success and whether the joy is in the destination or the journey itself. The story follows two boys, Sam and Dave, who are determined to find something spectacular. As they dig a massive, multi-level hole, they narrowly and hilariously miss giant diamonds hidden just inches away. While the boys conclude their day feeling satisfied with their spectacular adventure, the reader is left with the delightful irony of what they missed. It is a deadpan, visually stunning masterpiece that rewards close observation and encourages resilience through a lighthearted lens.
