First introduced in The Pout-Pout Fish and the Worry-Worry Whale, Willa Whale is the star of her own spin-off series, inspired by the New York Times–bestselling Pout-Pout Fish books from Deborah Diesen and Dan Hanna.

Willa is discouraged!

She’s learning something new.

She’s tried and tried, but no success:

“I don’t know what to do!”

She’s sure she'll never get it.

“I’m missing what it takes!”

But could it be a good thing

To make thirty-two mistakes?

Swim along with Willa Whale as she explores the experience of trying, practicing, and making mistakes. She might just discover that everyone makes mistakes when they try new things—even grown-ups and The Pout-Pout Fish!—and that mistakes are an important part of learning and growing.
