Overview
With fun rhymes and delightful images, this book will captivate young children as it provides them with tools to move through the big feeling of frustration. The Mother Company, a company devoted to "helping parents raise good people," is pleased to announce their third book in the series. Sally Simon Simmons’ Super Frustrating Day follows little, red-haired whippersnapper Sally, who is hilariously tasked with building a mile-high, super tall sandwich in class. She sets off with gusto but when her efforts don't achieve the results she'd hoped for, she gets frustrated and wants to give up. With the help of her teacher, Sally learns that patience and practice ultimately help her triumph. Right alongside Sally, children will learn to breathe, take it slow, and try their best in this exuberant exploration of frustration, one of the greatest emotional challenges of early childhood (and beyond!).
