Mia and the Grumpy Carrot

A witty story about being overwhelmed by emotions, temper tantrums, and finding one’s way to deal with them.

This morning, the whole world seems to be against Mia. First, she accidentally spills her breakfast onto her cuddly fox. Then, her big brother Henry starts teasing her. And when her Dad tells her that her favourite skirt is in the laundry and she has to wear itchy tights, it just happens – her cuddly fox suddenly looks like a grumpy carrot. There’s really only one thing to do to deal with all of this: throw a temper tantrum. Can Mia find a way to make the grumpy carrot go away and calm down again?

She lives in Mainz with her family.
