When Little Dump Truck is "the happiest member of the construction crew" — and when she's happy, the whole construction crew knows it. But when she isn't happy, she becomes Little GRUMP Truck... and the whole crew knows that too. She can't contain her mood — and soon it starts spreading to the rest of the trucks.
The other trucks try to give her advice: "Shake it off!" or "Ignore it, you'll be fine." That just makes her more grumpy! But when she closes her eyes to get away from her grumpies, she discovers that taking a quiet moment away from her troubles can shift her bad mood into reverse. For now... This fun, accessible story helps kids understand how to use meditation and mindfulness when they feel overwhelmed or angry, and is a useful tool for any parent hoping to try a new approach to treating tantrums.
