In "Very Grumpy Day" by Alison Edgson, readers are introduced to a little creature who wakes up feeling unusually grumpy. As the day unfolds, its bad mood leads to humorous and relatable situations. Despite the various encounters and attempts by friends to cheer it up, our main character struggles to shake off the grumpiness. Through vibrant illustrations and engaging storytelling, the story explores themes of emotions, friendship, and the importance of expressing feelings. Ultimately, the creature learns that everyone has off days and that it's okay to ask for help to turn things around. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].

On sunny days, you can find her practising yoga al fresco out on the Yorkshire Dales and on rainy days, tucked up on the sofa with her two guinea pigs, Pinky and Perky. Judi was born in Italy but now lives in North London with her family. She studied Illustration at art school in Milan. She usually works with acrylics, collage and colour pencils. When Judi's not painting she loves discovering the secret world of animals and travelling the world!
