BEWARE THE GRUMBLE

"Intentionally designed, this picture book is an important addition to library collections for young children, especially those that focus on social-emotional learning." - Mary R. Lanni, MLIS

This book, written as a secret passed on to great kids and featuring quirky black and white art inspired by Shel Silverstein, presents THE GRUMBLE as a creature that appears in any place, at any time, and looks just like the reader. It may throw tantrums, slack off at school, or cause chaos in the store, all because it struggles to express its needs. The book encourages kids to recognize and navigate their emotions, reminding them that it's okay to have bad days, but it's important to learn how to express what we truly need.
