Zoo day was supposed to be perfect. Then Mommy's sick day changed everything. Theo is mad at the gray cloud, mad at the canceled plans, and secretly a little mad at Mommy too. This is the book that lets the mad be big before it gets better: pushed-down feelings leak out, so Theo learns to stomp it, draw it, tell it to the dog, and finally say the hard part out loud. And Mommy's answer is the one every child needs: mad never means love is gone. Includes questions for kids and a fill-in family big-mad plan. Ages 4 to 10.
