“The Magical Yet” teaches a valuable lesson about a growth mindset and perseverance. I love how the story explains that you may not master something overnight and that you may make mistakes along the way. I also love how the characters are diverse! I am sure that many kids can relate to some of the characters in the book. “The Magical Yet” was also fun to read because it had a lot of rhyming words. I would definitely recommend reading this book to kids!

I VERY much enjoyed this story about perseverance. I read it to an afterschool class of Kindergarteners. We follow a social emotional curriculum and this paired with that nicely. The kids enjoyed the book, they picked up on the rhyme, and listened to the whole story. I loved it. They loved it. Good one!

The Magical Yet is a book that encourages children towards fostering resilience in their tasks and dreams! Just because you can’t do something yet doesn’t mean you won’t ever be able to complete the task.

The Magical Yet is a perfect book for educators! As a librarian, the book is perfect for students who are still learning and have “not yet” achieved all the skills they need. Students also learn that they do not have to do everything well, and that the journey to excellence takes time.
