Story Time With Karyn - Jane’s Carnival Adventure on YouTube
Join Jane and her friend Molly at the school carnival in this low-stimulation, animated growth-mindset read-aloud!
When Jane excels at all the carnival games while Molly (a perfectionist) struggles and doubts herself, Jane shows empathy and encourages her friend to practice and come back stronger next year. A heartwarming story about friendship, perseverance, and learning that comparing yourself to others doesn't define you. Perfect for teaching growth mindset, empathy, resilience, and that it's okay to make mistakes. This animated read-aloud includes a special post-story segment where Karyn discusses the themes WITH Jane and Molly—the characters come alive to reflect on the story together!
