Macho Tries Something New

Trying something new can feel a little scary, but every brave try helps us grow.

In Macho Tries Something New™, Macho heads to school and discovers that his day is filled with new experiences. From joining a classroom activity and finding a letter on the message board to serving his own food, tasting healthy foods, brushing his teeth, setting up his cot, using the potty, washing his hands, and preparing to go home, Macho learns that he does not have to feel confident before he begins.

With the help of Ms. Amina and his classmates, Macho practices a simple strategy:

Stop. Breathe. Try. Be brave.

This warm, colorful preschool story helps young children understand that feeling nervous, curious, or unsure is completely normal when something is unfamiliar. Through familiar classroom routines, positive encouragement, and gentle repetition, children are invited to build independence, confidence, self-help skills, and courage one small step at a time.

Perfect for preschoolers, early learners, families, teachers, and classroom read-alouds, Macho Tries Something New™ celebrates an important lesson:

You do not have to do something perfectly. Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is simply try.
