The Day Sweetie Pie Died $4.99$26.95

By Shweta Ujaoney Thackeray

Kaya’s little sister, Aria, is going through a “Phase.” Whenever she wants something, she wants it now… and she’ll scream and cry and roll on the floor until she gets it! No one knows how to prevent Aria’s tantrums—and once they start, no one knows how to calm her down. That is, not until the girls’ grandmother, Nanima, comes to visit with a special gift: a cute toy bunny named Patience. At first, Kaya wonders how a stuffed bunny can teach Aria to wait for things calmly. But Patience does more than just change Aria’s behavior—it changes their whole family, too!

Endorsements

“This is a great educational book for little kids to learn about patience. I loved all the illustrations and the message behind the story. Dr. U has kept the story simple and entertaining for all ages with scenarios that are relatable not only to younger kids but also to adults. My six-year-old loved reading the book by herself, as the language is easy to read and understand. I highly recommend this book for all parents and even for grandparents—a story that can be shared with the little ones.”
