About The Book
A child and parent turn a bad day around by finding creative and silly new ways to say “I love you no matter what” in this sweet, playful picture book.
When the sun’s too bright,
so I hide, instead,
and nothing feels right
on the wrong side of bed—
Will you still love me?
Sometimes you wake up gloomier than a rainy day, lost in feeling a grouchy kind of way. And nothing—I mean nothing—will make it better.
Except perhaps a silly, sweet reminder that even your crankiest, grumpiest, stinky-est self is still loved—and always will be.
Follow along as one very crabby kid and his grown-up find more and more creative ways throughout the day to reassure each other they’re loved no matter what, ensuring that while they may have woken up on the wrong side of the bed, when the sun sets, they’ll end it back on the right one.
