Why read it?
2 authors picked Beautiful Oops! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

All are in the service of how to incorporate mistakes into your art, and presumably into your life. Wouldn’t it be lovely to be a family or a classroom that describes inconsequential mistakes as beautiful oopsies? I suspect that far fewer meltdowns would ensue.
