A baby bear wants to climb a tree and eat a plum. Its mama is already sitting on the tree and eating. However, the baby bear has too many worries and anxieties about failing and hence, refrains from doing it. But, the mama bear is reassuring and tells the baby bear that it is okay to fall and retry. Motivated, the baby bear gives it a try and unfortunately, falls. Even then, the mama bear motivates the baby bear instead of helping him get up or correcting him. The baby bear gives a second try and succeeds, and is able to rejoice the sweetness of the plum!
A very significant message: failure is perhaps the most important step in the path to success.
In my opinion, THIS IS A BOOK EVERY HUMAN SHOULD READ EVERYDAY REGARDLESS OF THE AGE!

๐ A very simple yet vital lesson of taking risks, being bold, and retrying if you fail.
๐ Perfect for kids ages 3+
