Reach for this book when your child experiences a 'stomach-flip' moment of school-day panic, such as forgetting a special costume or accidentally breaking a rule. It is a gentle lifeline for children who feel intense shame or anxiety when they stand out for the wrong reasons. The story follows Jeremy Bean, a sensitive boy who forgets that today is the day everyone is supposed to wear a hat to school. Jeremy's day is marked by the heavy weight of being the 'only one' who forgot, a feeling many early elementary students find overwhelming. Through Jeremy's experience, children learn that mistakes are survivable and that kindness from peers or teachers can turn a day around. It is a perfect choice for ages 6 to 9 to help normalize the fear of being 'in trouble' and to model how to move past a social blunder with grace.
