Willa is discouraged! She’s learning something new.

Swim along with Willa Whale as she explores the experience of trying, practicing, and making mistakes. She might just discover that everyone makes mistakes when they try new things—even grown-ups and The Pout-Pout Fish!—and that mistakes are an important part of learning and growing.
