A Perfectly Messed Up Story is about a boy named Louie whose story keeps getting ruined. Louie feels like giving up but by the end of the story he is hopeful again. I haven't used this book yet but plan to use it to teach students the impact of self-talk, both positive and negative. I also think it will be good for discussions on attitude affecting behavior. I'm thinking this book is best for early elementary students. I always love when books come with a free educator's guide so I've linked that down below!
Description from Amazon: Little Louie's story keeps getting messed up, and he's not happy about it! What's the point of telling his tale if he can't tell it perfectly? But when he stop and takes a deep breath, he realizes that everything is actually just fine, and his story is a good one--imperfections and all.
