A sweet story about battling perfectionism and showing it’s okay to not be good at something right away.
I love the emphasis on being creative while still being realistic about your skills. It was great to see Naveen create something wonderful out of what he thought was a disaster.
Loved the bright, colorful illustrations. It was fun to see all the different cake designs.
Includes Ms. Maple’s Basic Cake Recipe at the end and how to make your own version of Naveen’s final creation.
Great lessons of not biting off more than you can chew, the importance of practice, that it’s okay to make mistakes, and making the best out of unexpected outcomes.
Such a wonderful read with great lessons and fantastic artwork.
