Kids Story Book: Big Feelings When Parent is Sick, Ages 4-10 (PDF Download)

Zoo day was supposed to be perfect. Then Mommy's sick day changed everything.

Theo is mad at the gray cloud, mad at the canceled plans, and secretly a little mad at Mommy too. He tries to hide it, but pushed-down mad has a way of leaking out.

With Millie's stomping boots, Waffles' quiet company, and one brave conversation with Mommy, Theo learns that anger and love can live inside the same heart.
