Not every difficult day has a reason. Sometimes a child simply wakes up grey, and every question about why makes it slightly worse.
The Grey Day sits with that. It is a story about a day that begins slowly and stays slow, in which nothing is fixed and nothing needs to be. The grey is allowed to be there. It is allowed to take its time. It thins out eventually, the way it usually does, without anyone having solved it.
This is a quieter book than most children’s stories about feelings, because low and flat is a quieter experience than angry or frightened, and it deserves the same attention.
For the mornings when nobody can put a finger on it.
Part of Little Signals: gentle stories about what bodies do when feelings get big. For children aged 4–8.
A children's picture book.
