Summary
Emma was born to run。。。or was she？
Emma's sister， Bella， is the star runner on the high school track team。 Her super athletic mom has been running for years。 And her dad trains for marathons。 Running is just what Emma's family does。
When Emma finds out she made the school running club， she's excited。。。and nervous。 Right away， though， it becomes evident that Emma isn't the fastest one in her family。 Or the most coordinated。
Emma thinks quitting is her only option。。。until her teacher invites a special guest to talk to her class about failure。 Emma is surprised to learn that failure isn't something to fear - it's actually something to celebrate！ As her classmates share their own failures， Emma realizes that maybe failure is actually a stop on the road to success。。。and that maybe she shouldn't throw away her running shoes just yet。

A short story to share with a class or have kids read and discuss in small group。 Help foster resiliency and kindness as children discover that we learn from failure and talking about one's failures is not a sign of weakness， but a way to grow。 Full page illustrations help visualize concepts and emotions in the story that kids will be able to relate to。 A great SEL text to enrich any classroom， school， or private library。 A short story to share with a class or have kids read and discuss in small group。 Help foster resiliency and kindness as children discover that we learn from failure and talking about one's failures is not a sign of weakness， but a way to grow。 Full page illustrations help visualize concepts and emotions in the story that kids will be able to relate to。 A great SEL text to enrich any classroom， school， or private library。 。。。more

Failure is only the first step。 Not the final。 Emma has always wanted to run like her sister， mother and father。 She has big shoes to fill since her dad runs marathons and her older sister is the star of the track team。 So when she joins the school's running club she is excited but also nervous。 Can she keep up with everyone？ Can she live up to the high standards her family has set or will she fall behind and linger in their shadow forever？ Emma isn't the fastest and she's a little clumsy too。 S Failure is only the first step。 Not the final。 Emma has always wanted to run like her sister， mother and father。 She has big shoes to fill since her dad runs marathons and her older sister is the star of the track team。 So when she joins the school's running club she is excited but also nervous。 Can she keep up with everyone？ Can she live up to the high standards her family has set or will she fall behind and linger in their shadow forever？ Emma isn't the fastest and she's a little clumsy too。 She wants to quit until a guest speaker comes in to talk about what it means to fail。 Emma learns a valuable lesson about determination， perseverance and having some grit to overcome the challenges。 The best part was the quote "there is a difference between having a failure and being a failure，" which should be hung up in every bedroom and classroom。 Emma learns that progress is more important than perfection。 This story was both entertaining and educational， which can be a tricky balance to maintain in a children’s book， and I will be suggesting it to teachers whenever possible。 Incorporating social-emotional skills and topics such as this into children's picture books is a tried and true way to teach an important life skill in a way that is fun。 This would be an amazing addition for classroom libraries， counselling offices and more。 。。。more

✨ "We never lose。 We either win or we learn。"An inspiring and beautifully illustrated book with a powerful message！ I read this randomly and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was。 This delightful book teaches you how to navigate and cope with setbacks， which I think is a lesson that readers of all ages can do with。 After all， we are our own worst critic， agree？ I also appreciate the diverse representation。Every classroom and library needs a copy of this wonderful book。✨"There's a differenc ✨ "We never lose。 We either win or we learn。"An inspiring and beautifully illustrated book with a powerful message！ I read this randomly and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was。 This delightful book teaches you how to navigate and cope with setbacks， which I think is a lesson that readers of all ages can do with。 After all， we are our own worst critic， agree？ I also appreciate the diverse representation。Every classroom and library needs a copy of this wonderful book。✨"There's a difference between having a failure and considering yourself a failure。" 。。。more
