The Day We Danced in Underpants

Reach for this book when your child is feeling overly self-conscious or when the household feels a bit too serious. It is the perfect antidote for a child who is afraid of making a mistake or looking silly in front of others. The story follows a group of colorful characters, including royalty, who decide to cast off their stiff formal wear and dance in their underpants. Through whimsical rhymes and absurdist humor, it celebrates the liberating power of play and the importance of not taking oneself too seriously. It is an ideal choice for building self-confidence and normalizing the idea that even grown-ups can be wonderfully ridiculous. Parents will find it a joyful tool for breaking the ice during transitions or winding down a high-stress day with a hearty laugh.
