# Cranky Right Now - Hardcover

by **Julie Berry** (Author), **Holly Hatam** (Illustrator)

**Sometimes we're all cranky, and that's okay _Cranky Right Now_ shows kids how to deal with those cranky days.**

_Cranky Right Now_ brings a much-needed message to kids: sometimes we're all cranky. Maybe we're tired, we're hungry, or we're just feeling grumpy. Dealing with emotions can be hard. _Cranky Right Now_ is a fun and funny ride through the ups and downs of being cranky, helping kids process difficult feelings, frustrating relationships, and things that just make them mad.

Award-winning author Julie Berry talks about reasons kids can feel cranky and how to recognize those feelings and acknowledge them. She then gives simple practices for moving through crankiness. She shows that it's okay to be in a bad mood sometimes--just not to take it out on others--and that cranky days will eventually give way to happy ones.

A companion volume to _Happy Right Now_, with Holly Hatam's bright and playful illustrations, _Cranky Right Now_ helps you embrace, understand, and move through cranky in a whole new way.
