Try This Too by Kai & Riley's Mumma (Part 2 of You Did This)

About the Book — Try This Too (Part 2 of You Did This)

Try This Too is the gentle next step in the You Did This journey — moving from celebrating effort to building the confidence to try again, try differently, and try something new.

Where You Did This reassures children that their effort matters, Try This Too opens the door to curiosity, resilience, and brave little experiments. It helps children understand that learning isn’t about getting everything right — it’s about exploring, discovering, and trusting themselves enough to keep going.

Through warm, emotionally safe storytelling, this book supports children as they navigate:

• Trying something new
• Trying again after something feels hard
• Finding different ways to solve problems
• Building confidence through small, safe risks
• Understanding that growth happens step by step

The story encourages a powerful inner message:

“I can try again.”

“I can try differently.”

“I can figure this out.”

About the Author — Kai & Riley’s Mumma aka Shreya Naik Kapoor

Shreya Naik Kapoor is best known (and most proudly) as Kai & Riley’s Mumma — a title that inspired her journey into writing stories that children feel safe inside.

An author, creator, educator, performer, and serial idea-starter, Shreya wears many hats — often all before lunch. From building child-led sensory experiences to creating community spaces for parents, to performing on stage as part of a live music act, her work sits at the intersection of childhood, creativity, emotion, and real life.

Through her work with children and families, she has seen first-hand how powerful the right words can be in shaping a child’s inner voice — and how much parents need support, reassurance, and sometimes… just a reminder that we are all figuring it out as we go.

Her approach to childhood is rooted in:

• Emotional safety before achievement
• Confidence built through connection, not pressure
• Learning through play, curiosity, and real experiences
• Celebrating effort, not perfection

If You Did This is the hug that says “I see you,”

Try This Too is the gentle hand that says “Let’s try together.”
