Hardcover. Mom's Choice Award Gold Winner 2017 While Dad tucks her in, a little girl named Grace calmly recounts her day-which was anything but calm. She had a tantrum (because of some injustices involving a purple shirt and breakfast cereal) and was banished to her bedroom before deciding to run away. Understanding that kids have ups and downs, Grace's mom wisely gave her daughter the space and time she needed to reach her own decision to return home-to open arms. The Day I Ran Awayamusingly captures Grace's mutable moods and childlike logic. Warm, humorous digital paintings offer fun details to keep little listeners busy. Kids can compare the bedtime and daytime scenes and try to figure out how Grace got that purple paw-print on her cheek-and when it got washed away. They can mimic Grace's facial expressions or copy her poses for some soothing bedtime yoga. And of course, they can create a safe place to run away to when the injustices of Pre-K existence become too much to bear. A pop-up tent in the yard and the haven beneath the dining room table are excellent run-away destinations, as long as you come home for dinner. "While Dad tucks her in, a little girl calmly recounts her day with Mom, in which she had a tantrum, was sent to her room, and ran away--to a tent in the yard"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
