Both the tiny humans keep running around the house flapping their arms repeating after Lu "I'll try!" - Jeenie Shank, mom of two kids under six "I love the simple message of this book: you never know until you try. I think it will help kids to conquer their fear of the unknown and maybe discover something they'll truly love." - Hayley Nystrom, Goodreads Review ★★★★★ "I love the illustration and every little creature in the book. They are all here to help the little lady bug who was afraid to fly. The author is creative to involve all kinds of bugs and develop their own way in helping out.

Another hour well spent!" - Aria Lee, Goodreads Review ★★★★★ "Powerful, inspiring!!!Sometimes all we need is to believe in ourselves.
