Age: Toddler-Kindergarten
Emotion: Frustration, Disappointment

A little girl's day begins and she is excited to go outside and play but it's raining and yucky outside! A tantrum ensues but dad is there to hold her tight saying it will be alright. The girl decides to change her attitude and find fun things to do inside. Her imagination runs wild with a blanket nest, a block tower, a muffin party with her stuffies, and paintings. Throughout the book, the girl returns to her frustration--like a real child!--but continues to find new things to do until, at last, the storm clouds blow away, as they always do.

The text felt like a mantra with gentle repetition of key phrases--an excellent way to be mindful of your anger while working through it. The watercolor illustrations were astounding and the colors were gently reassuring. This book is a true standout in the SEL field.
