Description
Today is a terrible day for Wolfie: it's cloudy (there is a single cloud), the water in the bubble bath is ice cold, there aren't enough chocolate chips in the cookies and everyone else is having a nice day (lucky them). No one understands Wolfie at school. But then Penguin comes along... and she does understand. Suddenly things start to get a whole lot better.
This is a story about how when you're feeling misunderstood, sometimes all it takes to change your perspective completely, is a like-minded friend.
A wonderful, and relatable story about the loneliness that comes with feeling grumpy and how a friend can give a rain cloud day, a sunny new spin.
Funny for both children and adults alike - while children will delight at the funny dissonance between text and image, the parents will recognise the all too relatable tale of out-of-proportion toddler grumpiness.

We all know that feeling when we wake up on the wrong side of the bed and just *know* it’s going to be a bad day. Nothing goes right, everything that can go wrong does, and this book perfectly captures in minimal words the feeling of a bad day.
I hope that this book will eventually be found in classrooms because it shows how one small moment, one interaction, and one friend can turn a frown upside down and make a very bad day into “the best bad day ever”! I wish that there were books like this that helped me to become more in tact with my emotions when I was in elementary school!
This was an absolute delight to read. The art style was absolute adorable and will have any child completely mesmerised. I loved the message of the story, showing children that having somebody who understands what you’re going through can make the bad things seem a lot less lonely.
I loved that by the end of the story, our main character, Wolfie, changes their perspective completely because they have a friend who feels the same as them which makes the bad things seem a lot more manageable.
I hope that so many children are able to read this and feel seen and understood, making their bad days seem even just a little brighter.
I had the best time reading this and all of the toddler animals are just so cute. I especially loved the caterpillar and their butterfly parent, I thought that was so cute!
This was a good book about emotions. We all have bad days and this book shows children how to recognize it and work through it.
I definitely recommend this one especially for ages 8 or younger.
It is an easy book for early readers too.
The illustrations were simple yet cute.
I love this cute little book for children.
It‘s so simple but i think for kids it‘s quite right. They can learn that worse things can be better with someone who understand you und feel the same feelings as you do.
I also think that adults can also learn this point from the book. Them sometimes when you get older you think you‘re the only person who fells that worse, but it‘s wrong. You‘ll always find someone who feels the same way as you and then maybe the sun will shine a little.
The drawing is cute af!
I like the face drawing and the tiny little details.
When i‘ll had kids, i‘ll read this book too them.
This is exactly what I have been searching for and will definitely buy it when it is out. I have this kid in my class that is always seeing the worst in everything and everyone. This will work beautifully as a gift for him.
It is a story about how we see things and how friendship can make everything better.
