More than the words, it is the illustrations in The Grumpy Frumpy Croissant that will help give kids the reminder of what to do when emotions begin to get too big. In this book, Croissant is frustrated and taking it out on his friends. He is being mean to them and and he thinks they are being mean to him. A sip of Milk and ten deep breaths help everyone calm down and talk to each other.

“The plot forGrumpyFrumpyCroissant stemmed from a tantrum episodefrom myson atour favorite coffee/croissant shop.He lost his temper when some of my coffee spilled onhis croissant by mistake. He squeezed the croissant so hard that the butter oozed out. Iasked him totake a deep breath and leave the croissant alone. The croissant slowlyregaineditsshape. I had an instant flash and theGrumpyCroissant was born.”
