Written by Marc Colagiovanni and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds.

"One day for no particular reason, nothing was going right. Absolutely positively, nothing was going right. So, I decided to go left..." Told through creative language play, and with depth and whimsy, this story reminds us of our own agency and the power we have to direct our own path. Marc Colagiovanni’s lyrical text and Peter H. Reynolds's stunning art create an enduring message of strength and perseverance that is both universal and personal, and one that viewers will be drawn to over and over again.

When Things Aren't Going Right, Go Left is a must-have, uplifting story and message sure to bring positivity and remind us that even when nothing is going right… we can always choose to go left.
