Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Not being perfect has its virtues in this irresistible child's-eye view.
Your best friend is kind of a show-off. Your baby sister is loud. And Mom can be pretty stubborn. Not perfect! But sometimes they come pretty close, and you do, too. David Elliott's winning, tongue-in-cheek text combines with Sam Zuppardi's fresh, kid-friendly illustrations to show that life may be more about patience than perfection, and that focusing on the positive reaps its own rewards.
A young boy reflects on the idea that nobody is perfect, including the other members of his family, but decides that, on the whole, with a little patience, they come close.
