Mistakes aren't just mistakes. They're growth spurts. Developing a growth mindset—a belief that learning is a process that requires dedication and hard work, not just talent—helps kids learn from their mistakes, build resilience, and strive to be a little better every day.
Not your typical alphabet book, Y Is for Yet uses the ABCs as an accessible framework to introduce growth mindset and all its possibilities. From A to Z, or Ability to Zany, kids learn new vocabulary that expands their view of themselves learners.
Readers can open to any page and find useful information. Younger children learn new vocabulary, while older kids can increase their knowledge of the brain's neuroplasticity and the many ways growth mindset can be put into action. A section at the back of the book provides a kid-friendly glossary of terms and activities adults can use to help kids build resilience and foster a growth mindset.
With an uplifting and positive tone, Y Is for Yet empowers kids to persevere and encourages them to view learning as a journey with limitless possibilities.

K-Gr 3-Anderson provides an informative tool to teach social emotional learning. Each page uses a letter of the alphabet to explain a different element of developing a growth mindset. The text is accessible for younger grades, and the content and tone are serious enough to share with upper-elementary students. This title could be used as a read-aloud or teachers could utilize individual pages for a focused lesson. Souva's textured and colorful illustrations are a standout and would make a great poster set. The engaging images reflect and expand upon the positive messages throughout. The cast of characters represents a balance of people of color and gender, but there is a lack of ability diversity. A glossary and an extensive list of activities are included. VERDICT A positive picture book to support lessons in social emotional learning and growth mindset.
