What happens when one bad day feels like the end of the world?

For Mercedes, one accident after another turns an ordinary day into one she’ll never forget. From a stubbed toe and spilled juice to soaked homework, a bully, and missing the bus, everything seems to go wrong. By the time she gets home, she’s carrying more than just a bad day—she’s carrying big feelings she doesn’t know how to express.

With the love, patience, and encouragement of her parents, Mercedes discovers that it’s okay to admit when she’s hurting and that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Perfect for children ages 4–9, this beautifully illustrated picture book helps young readers:

• Recognize and express their emotions
• Understand that everyone has difficult days
• Build resilience after setbacks
• Feel safe talking to trusted adults
• Remember they are loved, even on their hardest days

Written by: E.D. Wallace
