The Magical Yet

This is such a wonderful book for younger and older kids. My children are 2.5 and 6.5 and they both equally enjoy it. I love the positive lesson it portrays as well as the beautiful illustrations.

This book is beautifully illustrated and has a great message. I read it each year to my class. There are always children who get overwhelmed and want to give up. This is a magical way to encourage them and it works every time! They quote it all year.

Beautiful message in this book, great lesson for children and good quality book.

So I love this book!! I recently bought it on sale for my classroom, but I read it when I was student teaching. It’s the cutest story about how the little girl couldn’t do some things “yet” but she would one day! It’s a great way of helping little kiddos understand that they will one day be able to do the things they want to now. It shows it in a magical way. I can’t wait to read it for this year’s students!

This book is so beautiful! It’s an amazing story with a great message and I looove the artwork!

I just adore this book. If you're a caregiver, it's great for working on a growth mindset with your kid. If you're a kid, it's got a great cadence, beautiful art, and simplifies GM/resilience. We read this regularly for about a week, and all of a sudden my (fairly non-verbal) 2 year old was struggling with something and exclaimed "I can't do that... YET". My eyeballs almost popped out of my head. He has not stopped since then, nothing is insurmountable. My only regret is that I didn't really appreciate this book sooner. We had it in a stash in our basement for awhile because I wasn't sure it was age appropriate, but I really regret not putting it in every book bundle I give new moms. So if you're picking up another copy of Goodnight Moon to put in a baby shower basket... STOP and ask yourself, do you want to give them their 4th copy of Hungry Caterpillar? Or do you want to give them something that will grow with their child, expand their capacity and teach them that anything is possible? Learn from my mistakes!

Great message and great read.

Perfect book to allow kids to realize their goals are achievable. I read this to my class the first week of school before the students created their own goals. Beautiful pictures!

Classroom book and my students love this book!

Really amazing message for our kid, on perseverance and trying again and again for eventually mastering pretty much any skill or simply enjoying hobbies for the sake of it, without quitting the minute it gets tricky... I love the diversity in the characters representations! +non binary main character? which is awesome. Illustrations are wonderful.

Nice Book

What a wonderful book. Beautifully written with sweet, but poignant rhymes, easy to understand (my 4.5 yr old daughter loves it), and a truly fantastic message. It’s about how everyone has a cute magical creature called their Magical Yet. It helps us believe in ourselves, get through the disappointments that are guaranteed, and lets us know that we’re not alone when we try again and again. It shows realistically discouraged, then determined kids practicing their way to eventual success and it’s really just a lovely messages. I’d buy it for any kid from about age 3 on up.

I realised my 5 year old son was struggling with his self confidence and not being “perfect” at things. Knowing about growth mindset, I set out to find a book aimed at children to encourage them to have a growth mindset and this one does just that. He loves the concept of the magical “yet” and regularly refers to it and asks to read the book. I have recommended it to many friends.
