What if one hard day made a child feel like nothing they did was good enough?
Bailey and her favorite stuffed friend, Buttons, are having one of those days. From a breakfast mishap to difficult moments at school, everything seems to go wrong. Bailey begins to feel clumsy, left out, and unsure of herself.
A visit to Grandma’s flower garden changes everything.
Through gentle wisdom and a lesson from nature, Bailey begins to understand an important truth: being different doesn’t mean being wrong—and worth isn’t something you have to earn.
