Katie's Most Perfect Day - Averie Rousseau - Bog

In this second book of the Katie and Queenie series, seven year old Katie must face her biggest fear. In the process, she learns about one of life's greatest virtues.
Author Averie Rousseau brilliantly crafts this wholesome and thoroughly relatable tale of wonder that exemplifies how obstacles can be confronted and overcome.
At the beginning of the story, we learn that Katie's shyness has been getting the best of her. One day, Katie asks her grandma if she can accompany her on her weekly trip to comfort children in temporary need. Grandma graciously allows Katie to join her and also suggests that Katie take her new puppy along for the visit. Katie would rather do anything than perform and talk in front of other people.
The story is about how Katie and Grandma navigate Katie's shyness before and during the big day. Katie's unexpected gift at the end is a realization that charitable giving was not just a vehicle to overcome her issue, but so much more. It was a life lesson of appreciating that the pursuit of the greater good was not only uplifting, but a powerful motivating force to put aside one's own fears and inhibitions.
Katie's Most Perfect Day is a beautiful encapsulation of these vital tenets of growth and development. It is written and presented in an entertaining context so that its lessons can be easily grasped by children of all backgrounds.
