Assistant Superintendent David Vandergugten recommends The Magical Yet by Angela DiTerlizzi for World Children’s Day this week.
I recommend The Magical Yet, a New York Times bestselling children’s book illustrated by Lorena Alvarez Gómez.
This delightful rhyming story is about a young girl who becomes frustrated when learning to ride her bike seems too hard. She nearly gives up – until the Magical Yet appears and encourages her to keep trying!
The Magical Yet teaches us about resiliency and how you might not be good at something right away, but with practice, you can succeed. Resiliency and persistence are qualities that we want to see in all our students and are key to a student’s success in adulthood.
The Magical Yet is available in SD42 libraries.
