Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller
Grumpy Monkey is a humorous and thoughtful children’s picture book that explores emotional literacy, helping young readers understand that it is okay to feel their feelings.
Jim the chimpanzee wakes up in a terrible mood for no clear reason. His friends are confused. After all, it is a beautiful day, and they are full of suggestions to cheer him up. They encourage him to smile, to change his posture, and to focus on the positive.
But none of it works. Overwhelmed by the constant advice, Jim eventually reaches a breaking point. What if the solution is not to fix the feeling at all, but simply to accept it?
With warmth and humour, Suzanne Lang and Max Lang present an important message about recognising emotions without suppressing them, reminding children that feeling grumpy is sometimes part of being human.
