My Review
This children’s book with beautiful illustrations teaches young readers how to deal with waking up “on the wrong side of the bed.” LaLa, like many young children, doesn’t know why she suddenly feels crabby and snappy. Her mom teaches her that she is in charge of her own moods and that she can change her own mood easily like the flip of a coin. It might seem like a small thing, but for a young child, it might help them to understand how their minds work in simple terms. It will encourage them to choose to have a good attitude and being generally positive rather than being negative for no reason. Lala’s mother is loving and patient with her as she learns to deal with her emotions in a positive way.
Also, can I just take a moment to talk about how amazing this art is! It is bright and cartoon-like, and it really brings life to the story. I think it alone would be enough to keep young readers interested.
I would recommend this book to adults looking for children’s books that discuss attitudes and emotions.
I received an advance copy of this book and this is my voluntary review.
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
