By Janet Sumner Johnson, Alexandra Colombo (Illustrator)
Can 'almost' be a blessing in disguise?
Abby is frustrated by her life of 'almosts'—almost tall enough, almost a star student. Why try the science fair if 'almosts' will ruin it? But a near mishap makes her reconsider. Could 'almost' be a hidden strength? As Abby navigates her doubts, she learns that embracing 'almost' might lead to unexpected success. Will she discover that sometimes 'almost' is more than enough?
The “almosts” are ruining Abby’s life! She’s almost tall enough. She’s almost a star student. She’s almost first in line–and on and on it goes. So why even bother entering the science fair? The almosts will ruin it anyway. But what if Abby is wrong? Maybe the almosts can actually be a good thing . . . Feeling disappointment is a part of life, and Janet Sumner Johnson tackles that feeling with force in this inspirational picture book. In her signature kid-friendly text, Johnson highlights the importance of seeing positives in every situation and using a growth mindset to live your best life.
