Read a sample Read a sample
Trying—and failing—can be a path to happiness too.
Leela loves to do yoga. She could do all sorts of poses, but there was one pose she couldn't do. Every time Leela tried to do a headstand...KERPLUNK!

This book explores the themes of acceptance, resilience, and self-compassion and offers the message that just because we may experience a failure does not mean that we are a failure. Written as a counterpoint to the message of The Little Engine that Could, Happiness Doesn't Come from Headstands is a story about a girl who tries her best, but still falls down. Through the process she learns that happiness is not determined by external achievement. Through accepting our limitations and celebrating our efforts, even in the face of failure, peace can be found.
