Description

Don't miss this humorous and heartwarming picture book by debut creator Rachel Michelle Wilson about that embarrassing moment in life when you (gasp) pee your pants. Well, it happened. You peed your pants. You probably regret that second (okay, third) lemonade. We've all been there. This book has some tips to get you through it (including but not limited to traffic cone pants, extraterrestrial negotiations, food fights, and other very practical techniques). With her playful retro palette, debut author-illustrator Rachel Michelle Wilson offers a space to laugh with yourself through one of life's most embarrassing moments and remember that you're never as alone as you think.

Reviews

"Wilson's witty, kindly tone will resonate with readers of preschool age and beyond. An image of the humiliated owl, forced by less-than-sympathetic adults to sit on a bubble-wrapped chair while awaiting clean clothes, is paired with a great zinger aimed at said grown-ups. The ending is equally strong--and surprisingly sweet. While other books use humor to downplay the mortification of peeing one's pants, this one stands out by embracing the embarrassment and using that momentum to remove the stigma. A number-one hit!"--Kirkus, starred review

"Offering up a good tickle and just the right amount of playful psychological distance from the act, the title balances empathy and pragmatism, reminding readers that the experience at some point happens to everyone--grown-ups included." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
