I loved this special children's story. The illustrations are so cute and expressive. The book delivers its important message simply and effectively. Rain spoils Ellie's plans to go to the park. Her friend Patrick Pig suggests they try indoor activities instead. He wants to do gymnastics. Ellie is very unsure because she has never done gymnastics before. Gertrude Gorilla tries to reassure her. Ellie motivates herself to try and promises to be brave. Slowly she walks across the balance bar. When she falls, she laughs and realizes that it is ok not to be perfect at something. The lesson that young children will learn from Ellie's story is to try new activities and not let their fears hold them back. It's best to be brave. There is so much to learn and experience. If they are too afraid to try something new, they might miss out on an enjoyable activity. They will see from Ellie’s example that we gain confidence from trying, failing, and getting better at things as we go. Eventually, Ellie is excited and not nervous about trying new activities. She is proud of herself. Other themes in the book are friendship and supporting each other. This delightful book with a colourful illustration on each page and a few lines of text is perfect for children from about age 2 to 4 or 6 years old.
