About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a day where nothing seems to go right, or when they need a gentle tool to manage the frustrations of toddlerhood.

It is a vibrant celebration of resilience and the power of a positive perspective. Ideal for children ages 2 to 5, the story uses rhythmic, lyrical prose to normalize the feeling of being upset while providing a comforting refrain to lean on.
