Reach for this book when your child is reaching that overtired breaking point or when their social energy is depleted while a friend is still ready to play. It perfectly captures the relatable feeling of being grumpy-wumpy and the desperate need for a bit of peace and quiet. Through Gerald and Piggie, Mo Willems explores the boundaries of friendship and the importance of self-regulation. While Gerald tries to nap to cure his crankiness, he finds that his best friend has a very different idea of what a quiet nap looks like. It is a masterful tool for normalizing the need for rest and personal space. Ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students, this story uses humor to model how to communicate needs, even when we are feeling our least patient.
