Bookroo's summary
Tortoise's day is ruined when he gets stuck in a hole, overwhelmed by frustration. His friend Hedgehog patiently waits, hoping to turn Tortoise's anger into laughter. Can Hedgehog's gentle approach help Tortoise manage his emotions and find joy again? Discover how friendship and understanding can transform a bad day into a moment of connection.
From the publisher
A beautiful book about managing anger from the bestselling creators of While We Can’t Hug. There were so many things that Tortoise wanted to do. So many games to play and rocks to climb. Oops. Tortoise was stuck. Tortoise was not happy. Tortoise is not having a good day and now he’s stuck in a hole and and is far too cross for hugs. Hedgehog sits and waits and then makes Tortoise laugh - taking the time to let the moment pass, and acknowledge how Tortoise feels.
