"In this gentle verse story, children of diverse ages and backgrounds experience a range of emotions, from anger to depression to anxiety, "losing a day" to negative thoughts and feelings. Whether a child feels rage "buzzing like bees" or loses a day under the covers, wrapped in the "softest cocoon" of their bed, they will soon discover that losing a day doesn't have to be a bad thing. You can lose a day listening to the calm and steady tapping of the rain, or by reading or writing a story, by running or playing music. By listening to your breath. By the end of this thoughtful book, readers and parents will learn about creative responses to the most common mental health challenges for young people"--Back cover.
