About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is having a 'no' day or when they are feeling overwhelmed by a new, sensory-heavy experience like the first snowfall of the season. It is a perfect choice for kids who struggle with transitions or who have very vocal, stubborn opinions about things they are 'supposed' to enjoy. Kitty is confronted with the cold, wet reality of winter and finds it absolutely unacceptable. Through minimal text and expressive illustrations, the story validates a child's right to dislike something popular. It is a humorous, relatable look at personal boundaries and the frustration of being forced into uncomfortable situations. Parents will find it a great tool for normalizing grumpy moods and teaching that it is okay to have strong preferences.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on the sensory experience of weather and personal preference.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler who is prone to sensory overstimulation or who has a very strong 'no' reflex. It is particularly good for the child who hates wearing mittens or boots and needs to see their 'grumpiness' reflected in a funny, non-judgmental way.
