Description

Perfectly Imperfect Mira by Faith Pray tells the story of Mira, a young girl who wants to be perfect at everything she tries. Everyone around her seems to excel at something, but Mira is unsure if she'll ever find her unique talent.

One day, Mira decides to give it a try... and with that simple decision, everything changes. Despite a stumble, a wobble, and a couple of humongous flops, Mira begins to discover the beauty in her imperfections.

Faith Pray's inspiring words coupled with whimsical illustrations encourage readers to never shy away from the second, third, or even fiftieth attempt. This heartwarming tale beautifully conveys the message that there is beauty in every try, no matter how imperfect it may seem.
