Not a single medal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaya falls off the beam eleven times. Theo never gets the ball. Nina comes last in every race. Ada falls so much she wants to give up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNone of them wins. All of them get somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFIRST TRY is ten short stories about the hardest part of anything - the first go at it. One child per story, one sport per story, and one small honest victory at the end of each. No trophies. No last-second goals. Just children finding out what they can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTell a child it's okay to fall and you have given them a rule. Show them a child who fell eleven times and got back up laughing, and you have given them something else entirely - permission. That is what these stories are for. Nobody in this book is being taught a lesson. They are just having a go, in front of your child, who is watching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for reading aloud, ages 4 to 7. Short sentences, sounds to join in with, and one line at the end of each story worth saying twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the first try is never the good one. It's just the one that has to happen first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elena Carstian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798175093576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.12d","brand":"Elena Carstian","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50780066119935,"sku":"9798175093576","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/first-try-elena-carstian-9798175093576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
