Reach for this book when your child feels misunderstood or when their facial expressions do not seem to match their internal mood. This is particularly helpful for children who struggle with non-verbal communication or those who have been told they look grumpy or mean when they are actually feeling fine. The story follows Bernard, a young boy whose eyebrows suddenly take on a life of their own, making him look angry, devious, or suspicious regardless of his true feelings. Through a lens of absurdist humor, the book explores themes of social anxiety, self-consciousness, and the frustration of being misread by peers and adults alike. It is a lighthearted way to validate a child's experience of social disconnect while providing a laugh-out-loud solution to the pressure of performance. It is perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate complex social cues at school.
