This lovely story shares the experience of perfectionism in a normalising and engaging way, with fun and vibrant illustrations and lots of helpful and practical ideas both within the story and the adult guide that follows.
Beautifully written and illustrated, this delightful book is a contemporary tale about trying our best, not comparing ourselves to others and embracing our 'imperfect' attempts.
