Pessimistic Permelia: and the Worst Day Ever - Paperback

by Melanie Hawkins (Author)

Permelia is pessimistic. She tends to always expect the worst outcome, or believe that nothing good will ever happen.
"I just know that today is going to be the worst day ever!" Permelia would often say.
Dance class, homework, and even bath time...nothing ever seemed to go her way.
What will happen with her birthday party quickly approaching? Can she learn to look on the bright side?
Can Permelia finally put down the umbrella of pessimism and see all of the wonderful things in her life?

Parents, teachers, and counselors: This book is the perfect subtle companion to help children learn to recognize pessimism. While promoting a growth mindset as they work to overcome disappointment and frustration, children may also learn that they have the power to choose joy, even when situations arise that are difficult or beyond their control.
