"When you think you have made a mistake, think of it as an opportunity to make something beautiful."
This book came up in the "if you like this book you may like these books" section when I was browsing on bookdepository a while ago. It is a beautiful book with a wonderful message for kids (and adults) - it is OK to make a mistake and don't look at your mistakes as something wrong, look at them as a something to change and make better.
This book has bent paper, holes for exploring, scrunched up paper, torn paper, spills and stains. All "oops" moments that are turned into something new, different, and beautiful. If the message goes straight over younger children's heads they will love the lifting, turning, looking, pulling, opening, and closing that is part of reading this book.
I have just shared this book with a grade one teacher who is about to teach a language unit on making and changing mistakes and it is a perfect mentor text.
