bad day: a gritty little feelings book

“A beau­ti­ful book that tack­les a sub­ject not only nec­es­sary, but rarely ad­dressed. Par­ents are fre­quent­ly frus­trat­ed by what they in­ter­pret as stub­born­ness when their chil­dren ‘clam up.’ Ruby’s book speaks for kids, so par­ents can bet­ter un­der­stand and deal ap­pro­pri­ate­ly with their child’s distress.”
—Lynn Bern­field, MA, MFTC, au­thor of When You Can You Will
 

In­tro­duc­ing Bad Day, my fifth children’s book!

This branch of my work is about em­pow­er­ing the next gen­er­a­tion to love deeply, think crit­i­cal­ly, and act re­spon­si­bly – this time, I’m talk­ing about man­ag­ing our in­ner lives.
 

 
In Bad Day, things are not go­ing well for Hen­nie. Small things loom large, go­ing from bad to worse as the day-that-nev­er-ends goes on. But with a deep breath and some qui­et re­flec­tion, Hen­nie be­gins to make sense of his feel­ings and dis­cov­ers the pow­er of turn­ing in­ward – in his own way, on his own time.

Bad Day is not your av­er­age feel­ings book. Hon­est and re­lat­able, it’s a lit­tle grit­ti­er than most (there’s even a buttcrack!). 

I want­ed kids to see them­selves re­flect­ed in these pages while learn­ing that we are ul­ti­mate­ly re­spon­si­ble for our own feel­ings, re­silience, and empowerment. 

Watch the trail­er (above), take a peek in­side and OR­DER HERE.

Plus, I’ll be on RADíO FLoMM this sea­son to chat about Bad Day and more.
