About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is stuck in a cycle of morning grumpiness, door slamming, or general defiance. It is the perfect tool for those 'wrong side of the bed' days when a child needs to see their own behavior reflected through a humorous, low stakes lens. The story follows Tammy the Cat, whose terrible attitude leads to a series of social mishaps and personal frustrations. Through Tammy's journey, children learn that while everyone has bad moods, our reactions to those moods have real consequences on our friendships and our own happiness. Aimed at children ages 4 to 8, this book uses a relatable animal protagonist to bridge the gap between feeling an emotion and choosing a behavior. It serves as a gentle opening for parents to discuss mindfulness and the power of hitting the reset button on a bad day.
