Petunia the Perfectionist

Top Choice

Petunia does not like to make mistakes. In fact, she’ll do just about anything to avoid making one. So instead of enjoying her jam sessions on her guitar, Petunia practices ‘til her fingers ache. And rather than creating art with her crayons, she spends her time color-coding them instead. 

Petunia’s so busy trying to be perfect, there’s no time left in her life for being creative or having any fun! 

Though Petunia’s mom often reminds her that mistakes are important because they help us learn and grow, Petunia's not convinced. That is until she makes a mistake that inspires everyone...even herself. 

Will Petunia finally understand that it’s okay to make mistakes, and begin to accept herself for who she is – imperfections and all?

Purist? No. Idealist? No. Perfectionist? YES! Perfectionist is the PERFECT word. Petunia is a perfectionist. She did not know it until she overheard her friend describe her as a perfectionist. She likes her coloring PERFECT, her school assignments PERFECT, and her guitar playing PERFECT! It takes a lot of sacrifice to be perfect. There is no time for play or fun. Then it happens. One day Petunia is not perfect. Will Petunia be able to recover from her imperfection?

Petunia the Perfectionist review by Rdepaola

Petunia loves to be perfect: in school, at dance class, and at home. When she overhears her classmates calling her “Petunia the Perfectionist”, she is elated. After all, who wouldn’t want to be a perfectionist? When Petunia tells her mom about her new nickname, her mom has an opposite reaction. She tries to explain to Petunia that it is okay to make mistakes, and in fact, they help us grow. Petunia, however, does not agree and continues to strive for perfection each and every day.
