About The Book

Know any kids that want something they can't have, or not wanted what they did get?

Hilarious children's author Heath McKenzie brings new life and humor to the saying "You get what you get, and you don't get upset", through this endearing story!

Teach little ones important life lessons with a dollop of laughs!

Everybody at Molly's preschool knows that you don't always get what you want.

Maybe you don't get your favorite colored pencil. You might not get the most comfortable cushion. Or maybe you miss out on getting your favorite cup at snack time. That's just life; you get what you get and you don't get upset!

Little ones will learn a valuable life lesson with this funny and approachable story written and illustrated by Heath McKenzie.

Also in the LIFE LESSONS series: Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones But Words (Can Never) Hurt Me; You Don't Have to Like It, You Just Have to Eat it; Money Doesn't Grow on Trees; and Try Your Best, Forget the Rest (coming soon)

About The Author

Heath McKenzie lives and works in a very small suburb in Melbourne, Australia and has worked with numerous clients and publishers worldwide. Along with illustration (which he's been doing professionally since 2003) and writing (which he's been getting away with since 2013) he's managed to sneak in the odd bit of design work along the way.

When not drawing he's busily helping raise a little family with his lovely wife, collecting an unnecessary amount of toys and books and occasionally attempting ambitious culinary feats in the kitchen.
He also enjoys possibly a bit too much tea.
