Summary
Two stories about practice and settling down, in an American Sign Language (ASL) version with a signer on screen. Peter practices hard to pull off a magic trick, and when Pinkalicious can't fall asleep she finds calm-down strategies that help. A nice, accessible pick with feelings and persistence at its heart.
