It’s Okay to Make Mistakes/No hay problema si te equivocas

PreS-Gr 1–A vibrantly illustrated bilingual book that showcases Parr’s iconic bold colors and thick black lines. Each spread presents a different character facing a different mishap or mistake on the verso page, repeating “it’s okay/no hay problema,” followed by a reassuring or positive perspective on the recto page. The pattern of the story normalizes what could be considered everyday mistakes but also encourages readers to embrace resilience and consider new possibilities. Parr ends the story with his signature short message to the readers. The Spanish text sits directly under the English text and is clear and effective. Parr’s expressive and playful illustrations will easily capture children’s attention with their emotive features. The recurring “uh-oh/oh-oh” from the characters on every spread provides the perfect opportunity for a call-and-response interaction with the audience.
