About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts to believe that 'fun' adults like grandparents or sitters have no rules, or when they are struggling to understand why a normally patient grown-up suddenly loses their cool. It is an essential tool for helping children realize that boundaries exist even in the most loving, relaxed environments. The story follows Lassen and her cousins during a sleepover at Grandma's house. While the night starts with treats and play, the mess and noise eventually push Grandma to her breaking point. It beautifully handles the transition from a 'fun' atmosphere to a 'grumpy' one, illustrating that adults are human beings with limits. For parents, this is a perfect choice to normalize the occasional flash of adult frustration and, more importantly, to model how a family can move past a tense moment through mutual respect and a fresh start.
