Tilda Tries Again - Tom Percival
Tilda Tries Again - Tom Percival
If your child enjoyed Ruby’s Worry, they will love 'Tilda Tries Again' by Tom Percival. Tilda’s world is exactly how she likes it, until one day, everything turns completely topsy-turvy. Suddenly, things that were once simple feel impossible.
This is a beautiful, empowering story about what to do when life feels out of control. It encourages children to take small steps, keep trying, and believe in themselves even when things feel 'upside down'. It’s a wonderful reminder that while change can be scary, we have the inner strength to navigate it.
