It has the silliest name ever - Unicorn YAK!
This super-sweet slushy is made with cotton candy, topped with sprinkles, and is the most awesome treat Cora June has ever tasted! She can't wait to have another one... and that's the problem.
When Mom promises to take Cora June to the Slushy Shack after school, Cora can't think about anything else. She stares at the clock, impatiently counting down every second of the school day. She causes a ruckus in the classroom when her excitement spills out in the open, and she has mini-meltdowns when Mom arrives late and the line at the Slushy Shack is painfully long. Then, when Cora finally gets to the counter to order her sweet treat, she gets the crushing news: All Unicorn Yak slushies are sold out. If she wants one, she has to come back another day!
Will Cora June have the strength to flex her patience muscle or will her disappointment turn into a sticky, sorry mess?

"A great book that teaches children the rewards that can come by being patient. This book was exceptionally helpful as we try to teach our son about being patient. It has been a struggle because, like any other six-year-old, he tends to want things to happen immediately. This book was perfect to explain to him reasons to be patient and to help him navigate his feelings when he gets impatient. It also provided a great lesson about how good things come from waiting, and how he needs to learn this skill as he grows older."

""Good Things Come to Those Who Wait" was a wonderful new book on patience and waiting your turn. The storyline was written in a rhyming format which would make for an exciting read for the younger children in this genre of children's fiction, parenting, and self-help... I'd highly recommend this to every parent, teacher, or school/public library as it was fun, educational, enlightening, and heartfelt... Lately, we haven't had many books that showcase what it means to love unconditionally, to parent without strings attached, to allow children to form their own minds rather through guidance and through a level of understanding. This captured the very essence of reaching those age old milestones in respect, understanding, compassion, dignity, perseverance, and patience. All of which are important in today's world."

""Good Things Come to Those Who Wait" may be a line we have been told for decades but this quirky, bright, rhyming book revitalizes the popular cliché in a way children can digest it's message. Realistically depicting anticipation, patience, disappointment and regulation strategies, the book follows Cora June's quest for an infamous Unicorn Yak slushy. Patience is never easy but this book can make teaching it a littler easier."
