About the author

Children's author and publishing coach, Laurie Wright is a silly but smart, busy mom of three who laughs at her own jokes just a bit too much. The minivan is her sanctuary, and the only place she can sing out loud without being shushed. She’s known for her short term memory and extreme love of chips and dip. Usually on her best behavior, watch out when her filter wears off! Never without her laptop and a notebook. Trust her with your kids and your books, but not your coffee!

برای بچه هایی که میترسن از امتحان کار های جدید
و در مواجهه با هر چیزی که جدیده حس بدی دارن و ازش دوری میکنن خوبه
کتاب اینجوریه که هر دو صفحه به یک اتفاق نگاهی میندازه
تو سمت راستش رِینی کوچولو حس خودش رو از اون عمل سخت و جدیدی که امتحانش نکرده یا یه بار اینکارو کرده و ازش ترس داره بیان میکنه و در سمت چپ مادرش، پدرش یا کس دیگه ای به اون پیشنهاد میکنه که امتحان کردنش اونقدرا سخت و نفرت انگیز نیست یا گاهی اوقات خودش به نتیجه میرسه و تصمیم به انجام اون کار میگیره.
رینی نمیدونه که چیز های جدید، آدم های جدید، جاهای جدید چطوری ان و برای همین مضطرب ، نگران و کلافه میشه و غصه میخوره ولی در نهایت تصمیم میگیره که امتحانش کنه و از اینکار خوشحال هم میشه

Another win, great job!

Good for the shy watchers and sensitive kids who are afraid. Interested but not quite sure if they want to.

Good

A nice book for young readers. I guess I will try and do new things. Good perspective. Illustrations are good

This series is not exactly subtle with messaging, so I was pleasantly surprised that the kids were into it. Natalie picks up "I Will Try" and "I Believe in Myself" and eagerly hands them over to me. There's always a kid who is doubtful and scared about new experiences, but I like these positive affirmations of "I will try, even if there's a chance I'm going to hate what's going to happen". They encourage the fact that scenarios are uncertain, but it's going to be okay, which is valuable for kids (and adults) to know.

Pretty awful

I found reading this book to my toddler gave him new things to worry about.... seemed to be counterproductive. If the ending was at the beginning, or if it started with why she was nervous rather than “I won’t do it” it may have been better.

Great book of mantras for the classroom

An easy book to help teachers teach students mantra on perseverance. This is an easy way to help students become responsible for their own path.

Great book for setting up healthy mental health practices for children!

نویسنده با ترسیم موقعیت‌های مختلف ، افراد محافظه کار پیشنهاد می‌دهد که ریسک پذیر باشند و کارهای جدید را امتحان کنند. به نظرم برای مخاطب بالای ۵ سال مناسب است.
