Reach for this book when your child is feeling the heavy weight of 'toxic positivity' or the pressure to perform happiness even when they are having a terrible day. It is an essential tool for children who struggle with perfectionism or who feel ashamed when they cannot maintain a sunny disposition during setbacks. The story follows Kevin, a unicorn who discovers that despite the magical expectations placed upon his species, some days are just plain bad. Through humor and relatable mishaps, Kevin learns that authenticity is more important than a forced smile. For parents of children aged 3 to 7, this book provides a safe, funny space to discuss the validity of all emotions, not just the 'glittery' ones. It serves as a gentle permission slip for kids to be grumpy, messy, and real.
