Being Edie Is Hard Today - A Children's Book About Emotions and Self-Acceptance

This warm and tender story about being yourself--even when you're sad, anxious, or feeling lonely--reminds readers that human connection is essential, tears can heal, and a new day is always coming.

About This Picture Book

Being Edie is hard today. No one understands. Not her mother. Not her teachers, or the kids at school. If only if she could be an animal. Edie's imagination may be the perfect escape, but she can't run from her feelings forever if she's going to be comfortable in her own skin.

Debut author/illustrator team Ben Brashares and Elizabeth Bergeland offer an entirely original, wry, and poignant take on having a bad day--and trying again the next.

Perfect For Children Who

  • Experience anxiety or big emotions
  • Feel misunderstood or different from peers
  • Need help developing coping skills
  • Are starting school or facing new situations
  • Benefit from social emotional learning stories

Key Themes

This hardcover picture book addresses emotional wellness through relatable storytelling. Young readers ages 4-8 will connect with Edie's struggle to feel comfortable in her own skin while learning that difficult feelings are temporary and human connection matters.

The story explores self-esteem, empathy, and mindfulness in an age-appropriate way that helps sensitive children understand their emotions without feeling alone.
