The simple text in this precious book about self-acceptance portrays everyday childhood "disasters"—be they a result of clumsiness, naughtiness, or willfulness—and gently raises the idea of saying sorry and asking for forgiveness when a mistake is made. It is designed to reassure young children that they are loved even when things go wrong. Bold color illustrations featuring familiar scenes from a child's day—such as drawing on walls, spilling a cup of juice, staining a dress, or falling down and scraping a knee—will capture the attention of young readers and listeners, showing the gentle message of the story and proving that children will be loved by their parents no matter what.
