Poor Pitiful Pauline: A Paper Doll's Very Bad Day (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798250149570)

Poor Pitiful Pauline is having the worst day ever.

Her bow won't sit straight.
Her tabs won't click into place.
Her sweater scratches.
Her mood? Absolutely dreadful.

Her kitten tries to help.
The chicks perform tiny parades.
Even the breeze has opinions.

But nothing fixes it.

Because sometimes... it's just a bad day.

In this tender and gently funny picture book, Pauline - a dramatic little paper doll with a flair for the miserable - learns that not every gloomy mood needs to sparkle away. Some days feel bent. Some days crease at the fold of your heart. And that's okay.

With soft watercolor illustrations, charming paper-doll details, and a warm message for children (and grown-ups), this story reminds us:

Bad days visit...
Then wander off.
And tomorrow might click just fine into place.
