Worth the Wait

by Georgia Scott

Worth the Wait is a vibrant, engaging book that uses curiosity, time, and everyday life to illustrate patience and the concept that beautiful things are worth waiting for. In the spirit of Dr. Seuss, Worth the Wait repeats strong vocabulary and ordinary themes to help with comprehension in the most extraordinary way. The stunningly visual, mandala-esque illustrations by Korean artist, Sol Lee are wonderfully imaginative and full of detail.

Reviews

[Georgia Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

Worth the Wait started out as a gift to the illustrator, but turned into a remarkable collaboration and the first of three children's books that she and I are teaming up to create. I am so grateful for the immediate outburst of love and support I received in Korea, where I'm living now as an ESL teacher. I am so proud of the book, and look forward to hearing what readers on Goodreads think.
