Reach for this book when your child is spiraling after a mistake or feels like a failure because things didn't go as expected. It is a perfect choice for the perfectionist child who needs to laugh at the absurdity of a 'bad day.' The story follows a hungry hawk who, despite his best efforts, keeps catching vegetables instead of his intended bunny dinner. Through Hawk's escalating frustration, children learn that mistakes are not the end of the world. Instead of giving up, Hawk uses his 'wrong' catches to create a clever new solution. It is an excellent tool for normalizing frustration while modeling resilience and creative problem-solving. This silly, high-energy story is best suited for preschoolers and early elementary students who are learning to manage big emotions and pivot when life throws a curveball.
