About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a major disappointment, such as a canceled birthday party, a rained-out field trip, or a holiday that does not go as planned. It provides a gentle framework for processing the 'big feelings' that come with unmet expectations and shifts the focus from what is lost to what can be created through community and resourcefulness. Pinkalicious is devastated when a power outage cancels Halloween, but she decides to take on her superhero persona, Pinkagirl, to find a solution. While she cannot fix the town's electricity, she successfully rallies her neighbors to celebrate in a new, creative way. This story is perfect for children aged 4 to 8, modeling how a 'can-do' attitude and a little pink-hued imagination can turn a gloomy situation into a joyful community event.
