When is a book not just a book?  When it's Sally Simon Simmons' Super Frustrating Day from The Mother Company, a company devoted to "helping parents raise good people."

We have all seen our children wrestle with frustration.  The blocks that don't stack right, the day that doesn't go as planned, the cookie denied.  "We created Sally Simon Simmons' book to provide children and their parents with the tools they need in life to cope with big emotions such as frustration," explains The Mother Company President, Samantha Kurtzman-Counter. Adds CEO & Founder, Abbie Schiller, “What better way to help a child grow towards becoming a good person than by helping them cope with frustration. We believe this is fundamental to a child’s development." 

A book that can help kids deal with frustration and reduce the ensuing temper tantrums?  We say thank you! Sally Simon Simmons' Super Frustrating Day follows little, red-haired whippersnapper Sally while she struggles to complete a school assignment by building a mile-high, super-tall sandwich.  She sets off with gusto only to see her creation tumble again and again.  With a little guidance from her teacher, Sally discovers that with patience, practice and a few deep breaths, success lies just a layer of lettuce, pickles, mustard and cheese away.

Sally Simon Simmons' Super Frustrating Day, as well as A Little Book About Feelings and My Feelings Activity Book, are available directly from the Mother Company website and on Amazon.com
