She tries everything she can think of to be less mad. Counting. Taking deep breaths. Drawing some pictures. But it is so hard to NOT be mad! A long day of being mad really wears the girl out, though, and that makes her sad. And, strangely enough, when the girl is sad, her dad is pretty good at making her feel better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Awards and Honours<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>2024 Alcuin Award for Excellence in Book Design&#8211;Children&#8217;s Picture Books.
