About This Book
Reach for this book when you see the telltale signs of a toddler meltdown on the horizon and need a masterclass in the art of the 'creative pivot.' It tells the story of a quick-thinking father who senses his daughter's growing frustration and transforms a routine neighborhood walk into a high-octane roller coaster adventure using nothing but a stroller and a vivid imagination. Through rhythmic text and kinetic illustrations, the book highlights the power of play to diffuse big emotions. It is an ideal choice for parents of children aged 2 to 5 who want to normalize the 'grumpy' moments while celebrating the joyful bond between a father and daughter. You will appreciate how it models proactive parenting without being preachy, turning a stressful power struggle into a shared memory of wonder.
