Cute story good lesson
Good lesson, cute pictures. My toddler daughter gets pretty upset over mistakes so wanted to add some stories related to the topic into our book rotation and she likes this one :)

Inspiring
It was good and inspiring (Although I'm pretty sure Millie is a superhero with all the inhuman things she could do) but I disliked how her Mom seemed so proud and supportive and cheered her on in her first race... But didn't notice her daughter got stuck and even abandoned her and went home. Then when Millie gets herself unstuck and returns home, her Mom is like, "Where were you?" And I was just like 🤦♀️ really? She didn't even look for her or notice where she went. Aside from that, it was a cute book, I just don't think, in a children's book, it should be viewed as "ok" for a parent to be neglectful. I mean, even the Dad didn't go looking for his daughter. Plus, poor Millie accumulated so many injuries and no one ever took her to the dentist or doctor. 🙄 I don't typically review negatively on kids books, because I enjoy people's creativity and usually chock things up to "cartoon logic" (like why do the kids have blue hair and both parents have brown? I'm just assuming they adopted alien kids at this point, lol.)

Great book for kids
As a parent, I’m always on the lookout for children’s books that not only entertain but also impart valuable life lessons. This is one of them. Despite facing obstacles, the little girl perseveres with determination and a positive attitude. Kids can learn the importance of resilience, perseverance, and the power of believing in oneself.

Normalizes making mistakes and Practice makes everything better
Good book. My daughter also understands that it's okay if you spill milk and toothpaste etc. and she can laugh about it because of this book. It's important to teach girls that it is okay to make mistakes and with practice you can do better. this book covers it very beautifully.
