The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes: A Growth Mindset Book for Kids to Promote Self Esteem

I got this book for my daughter, and we both absolutely loved it. The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes tells the story of Beatrice, a little girl who’s known for always doing everything perfectly until she finally makes a mistake in front of everyone and realizes it’s completely okay. It’s such a simple but powerful message, especially for kids who put a lot of pressure on themselves. The writing is funny and engaging, and it really held my daughter’s attention. The illustrations are colorful and full of expression we found ourselves pointing out the little details on every page. After reading it, we had a great conversation about how everyone makes mistakes and that it’s how we learn and grow. I think this book is perfect for ages 4–8, especially for kids who tend to get frustrated when things don’t go perfectly the first time. It’s also a great resource for teachers or parents who want to talk about growth mindset or resilience in a gentle, relatable way. Pros: • Positive message about embracing mistakes • Bright, fun illustrations that kids love • Great conversation starter for emotional growth • Perfect for home or classroom reading Cons: • A bit short — my daughter wanted more! Overall, this is a sweet, uplifting story with an important lesson. It’s one of those books kids enjoy and parents appreciate. Definitely one we’ll be keeping on the bookshelf for years to come.

This book is a favorite in our home and classroom. Beatrice’s journey from perfectionism to self-acceptance is told with warmth, humor, and just the right amount of heart. It sends an empowering message: mistakes are part of learning and living. Kids really relate to the pressure to “get it right,” and this book helps ease that by showing how freeing it is to let go and laugh at ourselves. The illustrations are playful and expressive, and the pacing keeps kids engaged. A great read-aloud for starting conversations about growth mindset and resilience.

This is a great story!! Really helps children see that mistakes are normal and can be silly/funny. I love this book!!

Not a big read. When my niece told everyone at the kitchen table about the girl in the book, everyone said that girl is you! I guess it was worth the money.

Good book for elementary children

it’s really a great book. Great pictures. It’s good for second grader to read.

Excellent book for a first grade class

cute book

I loved reading this book for its simplicity yet a powerful message. Beautiful illustration, and a great message around growth mind set.

The book tries to teach kids that it is ok to fail and make mistakes and be silly. It’s good if you your kids is afraid to try new things

I did not like the story because it let children with the idea that being silly is the same as making mistakes. I consider it a superficial book, it only helps with the introduction of the theme.

Love the illustrations as well as the story. Lots to talk about on every page. Beautiful sentiment in this book.

Perfect condition and loved by the therapy team and children
