About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling particularly grumpy, or when they are struggling to see the value in social traditions and community gatherings. It is a perfect choice for kids who tend to resist forced cheerfulness and might find comfort in a character who shares their skepticism about 'perfect' holidays. The story follows a hilariously crabby man known as 'the worst person' who despises the Christmas season. However, through a series of slapstick accidents and the persistent kindness of his neighbors, he find himself accidentally participating in the festivities. It is an excellent tool for discussing how our outward attitude doesn't always have to dictate our internal capacity for connection. This book is best for children ages 4 to 8 who appreciate physical comedy and stories about redemption that feel earned rather than sugary sweet.
