Description
⭐ READERS' FAVORITE 5-STAR RATED BOOK! ⭐
"A step up from the usual 'Try, try again,' because it tells kids how to succeed on the next try. A wonderful addition to any home, kindergarten, and library. Highly recommended." – Readers' Favorite (5-Star Review)
Help your child discover the power of patience, emotional growth, and the magic words "Not Yet!"
Meet Skip, a tiny and cheerful penguin chick who lives in a beautiful, snowy land with his best friends, Sally the seal and Barnaby the bear. They love spending their days playing in snowdrifts, but one day, they discover the biggest, steepest ice slide they have ever seen!
While his friends slide down without hesitation, Skip realizes he is just too small for the steep slope. Heartbroken and discouraged, Skip even sheds a tear. But with the help of his kind-hearted friends and two magic words, Skip learns a valuable lesson about patience, practice, and a growth mindset.
Written in a lively, engaging rhyme and filled with adorable illustrations, SKIP’S MAGIC WORDS is more than just a fun story—it is a confidence-building tool that teaches young children how to navigate challenges and build emotional growth.
Perfect for parents, educators, and librarians looking for a wonderful read-aloud story with a purposeful message.
