“This book should be in every school and home around the world!
“A short but amazing story that helps children affirm themselves and become stronger.”

◆ “Mom, I’m so upset…”
Every time a child leaves his or her parents' embrace and experiences failure and frustration in kindergarten and school,
What should parents say?
A beautiful picture book that helps you overcome negative experiences and think positively and healthily.

Every parent in the world hopes their children won't get hurt or fail. They know that precious life lessons can only be learned from those hurts and failures. So, whenever their child comes home from kindergarten or school, crying, "Mom, I'm so upset," they often find themselves floundering, wondering how to comfort them, yet also how to explain to them the lessons they desperately need to learn right now.
This book doesn't offer formulaic, correct responses to the various situations you might encounter in everyday life—whether it's when your child struggles in relationships, when you realize you're not the best in the world, or when you feel intimidated by a challenge. Rather, it offers flexible, thoughtful advice on how to approach and embrace these situations. The more you understand the situations hidden within the picture, the more you'll realize that life, while incredibly complex, is also brimming with countless possibilities.

Just because other people say so doesn't mean you have to do it.
Being kind doesn't mean you have to always put up with things.
Just because you follow doesn't mean you're falling behind.
Just as I have a heart, so too do you.
We can be different from each other.

Yes, there is no such thing as a ‘right answer’ in this world.
So it's okay!
