Martina had a very bad day, and when she got home she was steaming mad. She told her grandmother that she had fallen in a mud puddle, swallowed a bug, ruined her lucky socks by stepping on a large wad of gum, and more. Her grandmother tried to cheer her up, but she was still steaming. Soon she heard music coming from the kitchen and went in to investigate. What was her grandmother doing that ended up chasing away her bad mood?
I loved Singer's heartwarming dual-lingual story on how to handle a muy bad day! It is wonderful advise for all of us. Osorio's delightful expressive illustrations enhance the experience.
