Jabari Tries: (A Motivational Story of Perseverance, Determination, Problem-Solving, and Teamwork - For Preschoolers, Kindergarteners, and Kids Ages 4-8) Hardcover – Picture Book, September 8, 2020

Loveeee this book. I have a little builder/engineer on my hands who also happens to be an older brother. In the story Jabari attempts to build something and continues to fail. Dad suggests including his baby sister as his partner, and together the two of them are able to successfully make the plane fly. Other things to note, Jabari became frustrated in the story, dad stepped in and gave him a calm down technique and that really was the icing on the cake for me. This book is not only a great story but it has life lessons in it as well. I love it!!

The Brother and sister learn to work together and I love the encouragement of the father.

I loved this book about Jabari (who also stars in the book "Jabari Jumps")! It is about a boy who wants to invent something that can fly across his yard. He tries to do it without any help but discovers that he can't do it alone - that having some support makes the job successful. His father is encouraging but not interfering. His cute little sister helps him figure it out and shares in his success. The illustrations are fun to look at and lead so some great discussions. My little one loved the excitement of inventing something and making it work. He also has a little sister and appreciated how Jabari's sister Nika in the story was so like his own.

Great book for black examples

My son understands the theme and applies to his day. When he feels as if something is hard, I’ll remind him of this book and he’ll keep trying. I enjoy this book. My son enjoys this book too.

Love Gaia Cornwall! The Jabari books are amazing. We had Jabari Jumps first and as soon as I saw this book was released, we got this one too. Amazing lessons and great ways to talk about hard feelings with little ones! 10/10!

We loved Jabari Jumps, so of course got this book...and I love this one even more!!! The dynamic of Jabari with his dad & sister are just so cute. And I love the expressions of frustrations, and how his dad helps him through. My son now often takes "tiny rests"

My son and I love reading this book together. I even caught him reading it to himself after he was in bed. I hope there are many more Jabari books to come!
