Books | Try Your Best, Forget the Rest

Preparations are underway for a school fun run, and everyone’s feeling a bit anxious! What if I'm not as fast and fit as everyone else? What if people laugh at or tease me?

Try Your Best, Forget the Rest delves into scenarios that all young readers can relate to—things that seem impossibly hard, need practice, or require a big effort. This book addresses the common doubts kids face and encourages them not to let these doubts drown their confidence or stop them from trying new things.

With hilarious and engaging illustrations by Heath McKenzie, this book imparts the valuable lesson that it’s more important to try your best than to focus solely on the end result. Young readers will learn that they can achieve so much—and have a lot of fun—if they just give it a go!

Perfect for ages 4-8, this book is an excellent resource for parents, teachers, and anyone looking to boost a child's confidence and resilience. Embrace the journey, enjoy the process, and remember: Try your best, forget the rest!
