Reach for this book when your child has woken up on the wrong side of the bed or is having a 'no good, very bad day' where every little thing feels like a personal affront. It is the perfect tool for those moments when your child is acting out or being 'difficult' and needs to see that even a grumpy, shouting cookie can be loved and accepted. Angry Cookie is a fourth-wall-breaking story where the protagonist speaks directly to the reader, initially demanding to be left alone. As the cookie rants about small annoyances, like bad haircuts and missing hats, the story subtly shifts. By simply staying and listening, the reader helps Cookie move through his frustration. It is a brilliant, humorous lesson in empathy and the power of 'holding space' for someone, making it ideal for preschoolers and early elementary children who are learning to navigate big, prickly emotions.
