Hop and the Fall That Taught Him
Hop the young kangaroo joey tumbled face-first into the dust every single time he tried to hop, while his siblings bounded easily ahead. A gentle bedtime story about wanting to quit, and the surprising truth that every fall was teaching him how to bounce. For every little one who wants to give up after failing.

Every time Hop tried to hop, he tumbled. The red plain stretched wide and endless. He braced low, ready to try again.
He launched upward, stretching with all his might. Again his legs tangled, and he fell. Dusty and sore, he pushed himself up.
His siblings bounded easily far ahead of him. Face-down in the dust, he wanted to quit. Alone in the dust, he almost stayed down.
He noticed the pattern his falls had left. Each fall was teaching his legs to bounce. One hop became two, then three more.
Then Hop soared, in one great joyful leap.
