Not Perfect

Dot is good at a lot of things, but good isn’t perfect. Perfect is her sister’s blue-ribbon painting, or her brothers’ first-place tie in the spelling bee, or her mom’s black belt in tae kwon do. Dot tries and tries, but all she has to show for it is funny-looking cupcakes, off-key piano squeaks, and almost-goals in soccer. Nothing she does is perfect.

When Dot and her classmates get an assignment to make a poster about a person they admire, Dot has someone in mind right away: her best friend, Sam. But draft after draft comes out looking all wrong! How will she ever make the perfect poster for her perfect friend? The creators of Not Little tell an endearing story about embracing the mistakes that let us build new skills. Fans of Dot and Sam and new readers alike will melt as Dot keeps on trying in this relatable story with an effortless narrative voice and irresistible illustrations.

Description

"Dot chooses her subject immediately and, naturally, wants her creation to be perfect; repeated imperfect attempts frustrate her so much that she tears her artwork up. After berating herself, Dot starts over. Next day, Sam reveals his poster of her — it’s not perfect — and announces that he admires Dot’s persistence. Dot then displays her portrait of Sam, made up of all those torn-up pieces. Surprise! She deems their efforts perfect.... Kids struggling with perfectionism will learn a valuable lesson." — Kirkus Reviews
