Try and Stick with It / Intentar Y Seguir Intentando - Paperback

by Cheri J. Meiners (Author), Meredith Johnson (Illustrator)

Introduce children to flexibility, stick-to-it-iveness (perseverance), and the benefits of trying something new in this English-Spanish bilingual book.

It's hard to try new things--for adults as well as children. It's even harder to stay the course when something is more difficult than we thought it would be, or when things don't work out the way we hoped. Yet flexibility and perseverance are essential to success in all areas of life, at all ages and stages. This English-Spanish bilingual book introduces children to the benefits of trying something new and the basics of stick-to-it-iveness. Includes suggestions adults can use to reinforce the ideas and skills being taught, in both English and Spanish.
