Reach for this book when your child is having an off day and just can't seem to shake a case of the grumps or the blues. This rhythmic, blues-inspired story captures the heavy feeling of a bad mood and the beautiful way siblings can support one another through it. One sister is feeling down, but the other refuses to let her stay there, using the rhythmic snapping of a laundry line and the joy of jump rope to spark a change in spirit. It is a wonderful choice for teaching children that moods are temporary and that sometimes a bit of rhythm and play is the best medicine for a heavy heart. Perfect for ages 4 to 8, it celebrates African American family life and the enduring power of sisterly bonds.
