Every Mistake is an Opportunity to Make Something Beautiful!


Beautiful Oops! is a one-of-a-kind bestseller that started a movement: It’s OK to make a mistake! Along with his recent follow-up, My Book of Beautiful Oops! (a fill-in artist’s journal), Barney Saltzberg’s books show young readers how every mistake is an opportunity to make something beautiful. Chock full of imagination, creativity, and paper engineering, Beautiful Oops! and My Book of Beautiful Oops!are filled with pop-ups, lift-the-flaps, tears, holes, overlaps, and smudges—each demonstrating the magical transformation from blunder to wonder.
