The Good for Nothing Button!

Reach for this book when your child is caught in a cycle of frustration or when you want to explain that feelings are powerful even if they are invisible. It is a perfect tool for de-escalating a 'bad mood' through shared laughter and absurd logic. The story follows Yellow Bird, who insists his button does absolutely nothing. However, as Red Bird and Blue Bird press it, they experience waves of joy and excitement. Yellow Bird grows increasingly grumpy, insisting the button is useless, even as his own anger proves that the button is indeed doing 'something.' It is a brilliant, age-appropriate look at how our internal states define our reality, packaged in a silly, high-energy format that toddlers and early elementary students will find hilarious.
