Brad and Kristi Montague have created a picture book about failing and people’s relationship with it. On the Fail-A-Bration website, Montague wrote about the inspiration for this book: “I want so badly to tell the younger me, ‘You are not forever defined by that failed bid for class president in fourth grade. You lost. You are not a loser. You are not a bad student. You are learning. You are growing. Keep going. You are not less than, even though you might feel this way. You are not your worst day. You are not what those bigger, “cooler” kids said about you. You are not your worst subject in school. You are not the only one who feels this way. You are not a failure. Failure is an experience, not an identity. You are a beautiful, wonderful, weird little human. And you’re not alone.’”
