# One Upside-Downy Day: A Picture Book - Hardcover

by **Renée Kurilla** (Author)

**From Renée Kurilla, author and illustrator of _One Springy, Singy Day_, comes an exploration of the not-so-great days of toddlerdom and the ways little ones can self-soothe to ease those upside-downy days away.**

_Sluggish, Weepy,_  
_Eyes still looking sleepy;_  
_You were in no mood to play_  
_When you got out of bed today._

Follow a diverse cast of young children as they experience big feelings--anger, shyness, and sadness--in this patient, rhyming, full-color picture book. _One Upside-Downy Day_ is a love letter to emotional understanding and the sometimes-gray days of being a toddler.

### Author Biography

**Renée Kurilla** has illustrated several books for children including _Chicks Rule!_ and _Chicks Rock!_ by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen, _Right This Very Minute_ by Lisl H. Detlefsen, the My Pet Slime series by Courtney Sheinmel, and the Ada Lace series by Emily Calandrelli. She both wrote and illustrated _One Springy, Singy Day_ and _The Flower Garden_. Kurilla lives in the woods just south of Boston with her illustrator husband, Keith Zoo, and their daughter, Zoey. _One Upside-Downy Day_ was inspired by growy, throwy, showy Zoey and is a love letter to every kiddo who shows grit and resilience while making it through to the other side of a tough day. Kurilla can otherwise be found with her nose in a book, drawing, or attempting an ill-fated headstand.
