About This Book
This humorous chapter book introduces Clementine Sweet, a spirited six-year-old who feels completely overlooked on her birthday. Her frustration manifests in a unique way: she uses her 'super tough feet' to stomp on anyone who ignores her. The story takes a fantastical turn when a Texas tornado forces Clementine and her family to confront their issues, ultimately bringing them closer. It's a lighthearted look at big emotions, family dynamics, and finding healthy ways to express anger, wrapped in a tall tale adventure.
When her family ignores her on her sixth birthday, Clementine gets mad and starts stomping on people with her very strong legs and super tough feet, but a tangle with a tornado turns things around for her.
