Publisher's Synopsis
What do you do when your car seat was bumpy on the ride to school, your sock was lumpy, your lunch gave you a bellyache, you lost your favorite spoon, you tripped over your shoelaces and everyone laughed? Some kids want to talk it out and get some soothing from others. But some kids just want some quiet time alone to process the feelings by themselves. In Bad Day, Ruby Roth gives voice to a little boy who needs just that, and learns that he has the strength to figure things out himself and move on. Featuring the author's charming illustrations and an unforgetable voice from the protaganist (who will "go disappear in here for a year, where the world cannot find me...GOODBYE!"), this rhyming picture book is perfect for children with similar needs, longing to see a reflection of the way they like to handle their feelings. With a positive ending focused on resilience, the main character learns to see a bad day as more about the strength you have to handle difficult experiences than about the bad experiences themselves.
