Grumpy Emy

A warm and funny Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) picture book about big feelings, grumpy mornings, and how one unexpected moment can turn everything around.

But feelings have a way of changing, and a surprise splash into a giant muddy puddle soon teaches Emy that even the grumpiest moments don't last forever. Grumpy Emy gently supports children in understanding and navigating emotions. Through humour, empathy, and a relatable real-life scenario, young readers learn:It's okay to have grumpy days Feelings come and go Family and friends can help us regulate Laughter and play can shift our mood Emotions don't define who we are With expressive woodland characters and a joyful, heart-warming ending, this book encourages emotional awareness, empathy, and resilience in a way children easily connect with. Perfect for homes, classrooms, and school counsellors, Grumpy Emy reassures young readers that all feelings are welcome-and that even the stormiest mornings can end with sunshine and giggles.
