Reach for this book when your child is facing a high-stakes milestone, such as a final exam or a performance, and is struggling with the fear of falling short. Isabelle is at the finish line of her fairy godmother training, but when her final exam goes spectacularly wrong, she must grapple with the possibility that her dreams might look different than she imagined. It is a perfect choice for children who feel they must be perfect to succeed. Through humor and magical mishaps, the story explores resilience and the importance of staying true to one's values even when the path to success is blocked. Aimed at readers aged 8 to 12, it provides a safe space to discuss performance anxiety and the reality that failure is often just a detour rather than a dead end. Parents will appreciate how it deconstructs the idea of a 'perfect' outcome in favor of personal growth.
