Description

Teach little ones that its okay to have a bad day in this brightly illustrated, gently affirmative picture book about keeping our heads up and letting things pass.

When a child wakes up late one day, its only the first in a series of things to go terribly awry. But the people around them show them that whats important is being kind to yourself and getting through rough days. Because, after all, tomorrow is a fresh start.
