About This Book
Reach for this book when your child wakes up in a funk that they cannot quite explain or shake off. It is the perfect tool for those days when every little thing feels wrong, from a messy hairstyle to a breakfast that usually tastes better. Through the character of Mimi, children learn that having 'the Blahs' is a normal part of the human experience and not something they have to fix instantly or alone. This sweet graphic novel follows Mimi and her magical pup, Penelope, as they navigate a day of low energy and irritability. It beautifully models self-regulation and the importance of supportive friendships without being overly clinical. For parents of 6 to 8 year olds, it provides a shared vocabulary for emotional hygiene, helping kids identify that heavy, icky feeling and move through it with patience and grace.
