“Trying” is an inspirational picture book that celebrates the courage to take risks, learn from setbacks, and ultimately grow through the process of effort.

Instead of being discouraged by the possibility of failure, the character learns to see every attempt as an opportunity to discover their own strength and potential.
With its gentle, yet powerful message and engaging illustrations, “Trying” serves as a reminder to both children and adults that it’s okay to stumble along the way. Each attempt, regardless of the outcome, is valuable and contributes to a deeper understanding of oneself. In essence, Kobi Yamada encourages readers to keep trying because every effort is a chance to learn and become a better version of themselves.
