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.

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.

David hates feeling like a failure, and so he starts to dream, configuring a world where failures don't exist. As a result, he finds that a lot of things is missing in his new world, and he soon starts to feel frightened and alone. It appears to David that a world without failure is a lot more difficult to contend with and certainly more difficult to exist in than the world he wanted to change. There are quite a few lessons to learn in this book that I believe is relevant for all ages. There were a few quotes that really summed up the book and the overall theme. One I really liked was, in David's own words: "Not trying is much worse than failing". A good read that I recommend for the whole family.

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.

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.

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?

This plot line is weird and a little sci-fi? Held my 6 year old’s attention for probably 2-3 reads and then he was done.

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!
