Brave isn't never falling. Brave is trying one more time.

Every child faces moments when they want to give up.

Whether it's learning to ride a bike, making a new friend, reading a tricky word, or trying something that feels just a little too scary, One More Try, Sorrel gently reminds children that mistakes aren't the end. They're simply part of learning.

Little Sorrel the fox has watched the golden sunflowers all morning, and today she is going to reach them. But between her and all that gold runs a quick, cold brook, chattering over seven slippery stones. She takes a breath. She steps. And splash, down she sits in the cold, soaked to the tips of her ears. She tries again. And again. By the sixth try her legs are shaking and her eyes are hot, and she is ready to give up for good.

Then a soft voice speaks from the old oak. It's Ollie, a wise, gentle owl who doesn't scold her and doesn't carry her across. He only asks one quiet question: Where were you looking, each time you fell?

Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is simply look ahead, take a breath, and try one more time.

This warm, reassuring read-aloud helps children build confidence, resilience, perseverance, and a growth mindset in a way they can feel rather than be told.

Perfect for children who:

  • Feel nervous about trying something new
