My Thoughts on Do Your Best, Tess!
Do Your Best, Tess! is a cute book for kids and encourages them in their daily life. I enjoyed it and so did my kids! In fact, it really reminded me of a child or two in my house who doesn’t want to do their chores or their school fully. Add in some cute pictures throughout and characters who will make you want to keep reading.
This is a newer author to me and one of the first kid’s books we’ve reviewed in a while. My little people loved sitting and having the book read to them while my independent readers loved reading it on their own. I’m sure we’d love to see another Tess book come to our house.

About the Author of Do Your Best, Tess!
Janet Morris Grimes may not have realized she was a writer at the time, but her earliest childhood memories were spent creating fairy-tale stories of a father she never knew. That desire to connect with the mysterious man in a treasured photograph gave her a deep love for the endless possibilities of a healing and everlasting story.
A wife of one, mother of three, and Tootsie to four, Janet currently writes from her quiet two-acre corner of the world near Elizabethtown, KY.
Her debut novel, Solomon’s Porch, was a 2022 American Christian Fiction Writers Carol Awards Finalist.
More from Janet
The idea for this series started over twenty-five years ago when it was my turn to write a skit for our children’s worship service at church. I came up with a rhyming, read-aloud, interactive story where the kids could help the main character make better choices. They loved it, and they remembered the fun catchphrase long after that night. We created some great memories through the story, and that’s what I hope to offer to children of today.
Do Your Best, Tess! is about a little girl who’s learning to finish what she starts, and why that’s so important. Tess gets distracted easily, and I think we can all relate, especially with today’s culture.
I so enjoy reading this story to my own grandchildren. They love helping Tess remember to put forth her best effort, even when she doesn’t feel like doing so.
