A World without Failures

This book takes such an imaginative approach to teaching growth mindset. It asks the question: What if no one ever failed? And the answer helps kids see how failure isn’t something to fear—it’s how we learn and grow. The story is clear and relatable, and the colorful illustrations really help bring the concept to life. I love how it encourages curiosity and resilience without being preachy. It’s a great read-aloud for classrooms, counseling sessions, or bedtime. One of the best tools I’ve seen for normalizing failure and turning it into a strength.

A World Without Failures is a wonderful book that teaches not to be afraid of failing. David is a little boy who falls asleep and dreams he's in a world without failure, therefore he never has to make an effort to better himself. But David soon learns that without failure, there is no progress and nothing has been invented... including the TV. Not liking the world he imagines, David is happy when his dad wakes him and decides that it's okay to make mistakes and fail because that's how he will learn. A great message that kids need to hear.

I was so happy I got this book. The message is such an important one and it is easier to explain it to kids using a book. The discussion starter at the end really helped. This will become an important addition to any personal or school library.

David’s day could not have been worse. He messed up the soccer game, made mistakes on his spelling test, and failed miserably in his swimming lesson. David wishes that we could live in a world without mistakes or failures. That would be ideal. David soon regrets his wish. The refrigerator in the kitchen disappears and so does the supermarket next to his house. All the conveniences he takes for granted vanish. Even his cat, Einstein, gives up. David comes to realize that a world without failure is not a happy place to be. No progress can be made unless mistakes and failures happen first. This book teaches children the impossibility of perfection and the necessity to try even though it may lead to failure. Especially recommended for children in the four to eight-year-old age range.

This book has proved to be a great read for my 6-year-old daughter. She doesn't want to try anything new and is scared of making mistakes. This book helped her with her fears of making mistakes. I have read other books from this author and highly recommend her.

Normalize what it is to be human and try again and feel safe to make mistakes. My 6 year old very much enjoyed the book and the questions. Highly recommend.

The mistake the cat makes is pooping on the floor. The picture is actually of a big pile of cat poop. There’s no coming back. The rest of the story is irrelevant. A room full of 7-10 year old boys is only interested in the cat poop. I mean the author couldn’t have thought of any other mistake a cat or human could make then leaving a pile of poop on the floor? C’mon. I actually stopped reading when I saw a caveman. Because without mistakes houses and roads couldn’t have been made (?) I don’t get it. My kids didn’t get it. Weeks later and they still talk about a pile of cat poop with no reference to a growth mindset. Just don’t bother with this book. Who are these people giving 5 stars? Do their kids not get distracted by poop?

A world without failures is it world with nothing at all! In order to learn, to change, and to grow we have to be willing to make mistakes or fail.

I loved this story. It teaches kids an essential lesson, one which even adults need to be reminded of sometimes. The drawings were quite nice as well. I would love it if this book was available in Romanian as well. I am looking to gift it to my cousin's kids in the future and they don't speak English yet. Looking forward to check out more books by the author. Highly recommend reading this book.

Arrived on time in good condition. Teaches children a valuable message and powerful lesson about achieving one's fullest potential. Highly reccomend. Intended audience for all ages. Will use in a kindergarten classroom environment.

This children's book, with beautiful illustrations by Maima W Adiputri, teaches about the value of failing, and how nothing would be achieved without some failures along the way. It's a great way to show children that, and to promote perseverance, and its fabulous combination of sweet story and lovely pictures really does provide a gorgeous book that children will enjoy.

very good ,highly recommended

The kindle version ends with David really frightened. The rest of the story is missing. Please fix this as customers have paid for the book and aren't getting the whole thing!
