This book is a great tool for parents to help their children learn to wait for things they want or want to do. We sometimes forget we tell children to be patient without giving them the tools to do that. This story gives Cora June some tools to help her learn to wait for the things she wants. The story keeps repeating Good things come to those who wait but gives suggestions of things to do like deep breathing and counting.
Cora June is very excited to go get her favorite slushy after school and she just has to tell everyone. The day drags on at school, mom is late picking her up, the line is so long. But perhaps the worst thing they were out of her favorite and she had to come back another day. But good things come to those that wait and she was rewarded the next day.
Beautiful illustrations go along with this story. Also there are parent and teacher tips at the back of the story to go along with the book. I can't wait to share this story.

This book does perfectly what it set out to do- explain patience to young children! the art is cute and the story is well done

Julia Cook always writes books that teach good SEL lessons. This one on patience is just as good as her others. The book talks about Cora who “just can’t wait”. The book offers strategies (counting to 10) for calming down while waiting. Patience can be a hard topic to tackle but this book will make it easier.

This book does such a great job of explaining patience on an age appropriate level. As a parent of two young girls this is something I deal with on a daily basis. I thought the illustrations where really well done and thought out, my seven year old got a kick out of the unicorn slushie and would like one of those in real life 😂 really great learning tool and I'll definitely check out some more books by this author

This book is very cute. The illustrations are bright and inviting. I love the message about patience. The refrain on patience is something catching that could engage younger children. The lesson was a bit didactic and heavy-handed, but overall I enjoyed the book.

This picture book is designed to be used as a companion for teaching lessons on life skills and the qualities that we want people to exhibit; this one is about patience. I particularly enjoy the illustrations in this one, and I think the little rhyme that Cora June learns to help her practice being patient could be used by parents or teachers who are trying to teach patience to the kiddos in their lives.

Ahhh what a lovely story and beautifully written. This is perfect for children, easy to read but really clear on this is purpose.

This is a good book on patience for children. The story is entertaining for a child and has short sentences and lots of pictures. Kids will enjoy this.

Well, a good lesson there for kids.

But sadly I don't believe in the saying, "Good things come to those who wait." Instead, "try your best and take opportunities head-on and rest well" is my motto for myself for years now.

Love the idea still. The illustrations aren't that appealing considering it is a picture book. But I love the colour choices.

Thank you, authors and the publisher for the advance reading copy.

“Good things come to those who wait” is a great book to teach kids that patience is key! It’s worded in a way that will be understaffed easily, and the illustrations were great!

Patience is an extremely difficult skill for many child to learn and fully understand. In Good Things Come to Those who Wait, Julia Cook uses repetition and clear examples to fully express the construct. This book would be great as a read aloud with any elementary level children. I also loved how the author gave tangible tips on teaching patience for parents and educators at the end of the book!
