The Quarreling Book

Reach for this book when the 'grumpy clouds' have settled over your home and it feels like everyone is snapping at each other for no reason. It is the perfect tool for those long, rainy afternoons where one person's bad mood seems to infect the whole family like a domino effect. The story follows a chain reaction of cross feelings that begins with a forgotten goodbye kiss and ripples through the household, affecting parents, children, and siblings alike. This classic tale provides a gentle, non-judgmental way to talk about emotional contagion and the power we have to change the energy of a room. Ideal for children ages 3 to 8, it validates that bad days happen to everyone while modeling how a single act of playfulness or kindness can break a cycle of negativity. Parents will appreciate how it takes the blame out of 'being difficult' and focuses instead on the interconnectedness of family feelings.
