Grumpy Monkey
Book • 2013
Jim the chimpanzee wakes up in a terrible mood for no apparent reason, even though it's a beautiful day.

The story humorously explores the idea that it's normal to feel grumpy sometimes, and that it's okay to just sit with those feelings.
With expressive illustrations and a lighthearted tone, Grumpy Monkey helps young readers understand and accept their emotions.
