Sad, Mad, Glad: A Day Full of Feelings

Explore the wide breadth of emotions that kids encounter every day in this gentle rhyming picture book about feelings, friends, and sibling bonds. Includes an educator afterword to delve into social-emotional learning connections.

It’s a drizzly, damp, dull Sunday.
Nothing to do or see.
I’m feeling BORED. I need someone
To come and play with me.

And that’s just the first of many feelings a young boy experiences on this day. From being GLAD about his friends eventually coming over to play, to getting MAD when little sister Kate gets in the way, our main character feels a whole spectrum of emotions over the course of one day!
