That's Life!

A parent might reach for this book when their child is having a tough time with small disappointments, like a broken toy or a rainy day, and is struggling to be flexible. "That's Life!" humorously personifies life itself as a small, furry, and chaotic creature who brings both lovely surprises and frustrating messes. The story follows a character whose seemingly perfect day is repeatedly interrupted by this well-meaning but troublesome agent of fate. Through funny, relatable scenarios, the book gently introduces the concept that life has ups and downs, and that resilience means learning to roll with them. For ages 4 to 8, its lighthearted and charming approach makes it a perfect tool for starting conversations about managing frustration and finding joy even when things don't go as planned.
