Cover of What If Everything Goes Wrong?, showing the fox, the horse, the owl, the princess and a turtle in a thunderstorm For kids ages 6 to 10

How each story works

First the dream comes true. Then everything goes wrong.

These stories don't stop at the happy ending. Each one has a second part, where something bigger than the characters knocks down what they built. That is where children learn what to do when life doesn't go as planned.

  1. The dream

    A character has an idea, works patiently and makes it happen, even when others laugh or doubt.

  2. Everything goes wrong

    A flood, a storm, an accident or an earthquake. The sadness is real, and the story gives it room.

  3. Starting over

    Friends come to help and everyone rebuilds together. What comes back is stronger than before.

A book to read together and talk about afterwards

Kids have days when everything goes wrong too: the block tower falls, the team loses, the drawing tears. These stories give them words for those moments and a path they can follow.

AgeAges 6 to 10, to read together or on their own.
ValuesResilience, teamwork and perseverance, woven into the story rather than preached.
In the classroomEach story fits a read-aloud session and opens a conversation about frustration, friendship and helping others.
What matters isn't what we lose, but what we build together.
