What Do You Do With a Chance?

When a young child is offered a series of chances, the child either hesitates too long or tries and fails, feels humiliated, and makes the decision not to take any more chances. The chances stop coming around, but when one unexpectedly appears the child finds the courage to grasp it and experiences both excitement and accomplishment. This thought-provoking and inspirational Canadian picture book for grades K-5 can be used as an independent choice or class read-aloud to begin conversations about taking a risk, making a mistake, overcoming the fear of failure, and becoming more courageous.
