An artful mixture of fantasy and reality, humor and heart, Maya Was Grumpy celebrates the power of imagination and humor to improve moods. Maya wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, tangled in her blanket, and in a crispy, cranky, grumpy, grouchy mood. She doesnt want to color or wear her favorite shorts or go outside to play. Whats worse, shes determined to share her grumpiness with everyone as she glumps, clumps, and thumps around the house. But when Maya growls at her grandmother, she graciously takes Mayas mood in stride, and even has a solution: Gramma suggests a series of unusual activities that Maya will probably not want to do since shes feeling grumpy-and then dismisses her own silly suggestions before Maya can reject them. Children will find it hard to keep from smiling as they watch Mayas grouchiness dissolve into glee at Grammas giggle-inducing ideas, while adults will find Grammas clever tactic a useful strategy to add to their repertoire when kids are grumpy.
