An uplifting story about confronting big emotions from the author of The Night Box, stunningly illustrated by Julia Sarda. Ed's bad mood begins as something really small, hardly a thing at all.

A wonderful bedtime story for children aged 3 years and up, perfect for helping children learn to recognise and deal with big emotions.
