Walter Tries Anyway

By: Sarah Rees

Walter is READY for the best day ever.

He wakes up brave.
Confident.
Totally prepared for adventure.

Unfortunately... the day has other plans.

From dropped toast and muddy puddles to embarrassing BONKS and missed catches, nothing seems to go quite right for Walter. But when one small act of kindness turns a bad day around, Walter discovers something important:

You do not have to be perfect to make people happy.

Walter Tries Anyway is a heartwarming and funny watercolor picture book about resilience, kindness, big feelings, and learning to laugh at yourself along the way. Perfect for children ages 3-8, this cozy story reminds readers that mistakes are okay, bad days happen, and trying your best matters more than getting everything right.

Filled with lovable characters, emotional storytelling, and charming watercolor illustrations, Walter's story is one children - and parents - will want to read again and again.
