About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in the middle of a bad mood that seems to affect everyone around them. It is especially helpful for children who struggle to articulate why they are upset and who might feel guilty after an emotional outburst. Misty is a relatable little cloud who wakes up on the wrong side of the bed. As her grumpiness turns into a literal thunderstorm, the book uses weather as a powerful metaphor for the internal storms kids experience. Appropriate for ages 3 to 7, this story teaches that big feelings like anger and frustration are natural, manageable, and, most importantly, temporary. By framing emotions as weather patterns, parents can help children understand that even the darkest storm eventually passes to reveal the sun. It provides a non-judgmental way to talk about the physical and social impact of 'stormy' behavior.
