A Gentle Picture Book About Perseverance, Feelings, and Finding Your Own Way
What happens when something feels hard-and trying the right way just isn't working?
The Many Ways to Try is a warm, reassuring picture book for children ages 3-7 that teaches an important life lesson: Trying doesn't look the same for everyone-and that's okay.
Meet Milo, a young child who wants to build something special. Milo tries again and again, but it doesn't work the way they hoped. Frustration starts to feel heavy... until a caring grown-up helps Milo discover that there are many ways to try.
Through simple language and soft, expressive illustrations, children learn that trying can mean:
asking for help
taking a break
going slowly
or trying a new way
This story gently supports:
Perseverance without pressure
Emotional awareness and self-regulation
Confidence during learning and challenges
A growth mindset rooted in kindness, not perfection
Perfect for home read-alouds, bedtime, or calm moments after frustration, The Many Ways to Try gives parents the language to support children without pushing them to try harder.
The book also includes a short note for grown-ups, offering a simple reminder:
Sometimes reminding children how to try is more helpful than telling them to try harder.
