Book Description
Stickley didn’t like making mistakes. “Oh no!” he’d say, and he wouldn’t try again. He wanted to be perfect. Many children—and adults!—don’t like making mistakes. But mistakes are a natural and necessary part of growing up. What’s more, research shows that how we view mistakes determines whether we embrace challenges or avoid them altogether. Children who are willing to learn from mistakes take more risks in their learning—and are more likely to keep trying when they are challenged—than children who are hesitant to do anything wrong. Stickley Makes a Mistake! shows kids how to hop up, try again, and say “oh well!” when they make a mistake—just like Stickley! Includes a Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Teachers with more information about the importance of having a healthy attitude towards mistakes, and advice for encouraging children to embrace their mistakes, learn from them, and keep trying.

A Chair for My Mother

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 35
Book Description
This classic and heartwarming picture book was written and illustrated by the celebrated Vera B. Williams and was named a Caldecott Honor Book by the American Library Association. "A tender knockout. It's rare to find much vitality, spontaneity, and depth of feeling in such a simple, young book."—Kirkus Reviews Vera Williams tells of a young girl who, along with her waitress mother, saves coins in a big jar in hopes that they can someday buy a new chair for their apartment, the kind of chair her mother deserves after being on her feet all day in the Blue Tile Diner. Into the jar also goes the money Grandma saves whenever she gets a bargain at the market. There hasn't been a comfortable place to sit in the apartment since a fire in their previous apartment burned everything to "charcoal and ashes." Friends and neighbors brought furniture to their new apartment downstairs, but no one brought anything big or soft or comfortable. Finally the jar is full, the coins are rolled, and in the book's crowning moment, mother, daughter, and Grandma search four different furniture stores, and after carefully trying several chairs, like Goldilocks, they find the chair they've been dreaming of at last. Vera Williams enhances this story about family, community, and the power of working together toward a common goal with her signature folk art-inspired paintings. A Chair for My Mother has sold more than a million copies and is an ideal choice for reading and sharing at home and in the classroom. "A superbly conceived picture book expressing the joyful spirit of a loving family."—The Horn Book Vera B. Williams's beloved picture book favorites include: "More More More," Said the Baby Amber Was Brave, Essie Was Smart A Chair for Always A Chair for My Mother Cherries and Cherry Pits Music, Music for Everyone Something Special for Me Stringbean's Trip to the Shining Sea Three Days on a River in a Red Canoe
