This is the book I wish I had when I was a child. this lesson on perfectionism especially hit home! I love that they teach important emotional coping and resilience lessons in such simple ways! I will be buying more.

My 4 year old struggles with perfectionism. I have been looking for a tool to help her understand that she doesn't have to be perfect, and mistakes are inevitable and good to learn from. This book is *perfect* for that and teaches the lesson in a fun with with a cute character that she can relate to

I chose this book with both my children and my students in mind. Accepting mistakes and imperfections is a huge part of how I teach and parent, and Yak has helped my son in particular to feel like it's ok to make a mistake. He had been resisting his first bike with pedals, and after a week with Yak, he was ready to try it out. He is now racing on it. My students have also responded well to Yak. I bought a second copy for my niece!
