Watch the trailer:

Trini is the highest flyer, the strongest gripper, the most spectacular cartwheeler at her after-school club. She easily masters any gymnastic move her teachers show her, and always says, "I can do that." But when she tries to construct buildings out of blocks like her friends do, she discovers that some things don't come as easily for her.

“Solid text depicts Trini as relatable and confident but never smug. The spare illustrations clearly show a child’s enthusiasm and gymnastic skill in addition to her dismay at her inability to excel for the first time. An afterword for parents discusses the importance of exposing children to challenging experiences.”—School Library Journal

“…encourages children to challenge themselves and others by exploring a variety of activities and experiences, having fun while forming healthy foundations for future success.—Foreword Reviews

“Partly a parenting book, partly aimed at children, best read and discussed together.—Kirkus Reviews
