We can all get stuck focusing on what’s not going right… It’s raining on Saturday morning and Mateo is bored and cranky. He can’t find anything to do… except make a list of things he can’t do. He sits, he sulks. His brain feels stuck. Readers can follow along as Mateo discovers that appreciating what’s right in front of him can help turn the page on a grumpy day.
