The Grump Hump: A Rhyming Picture Book About Emotions, Apologies, and Sibling Love - Social Emotional Learning for Kids
The Grump Hump is a beautifully illustrated, rhyming children's book that teaches emotional regulation, empathy, and the power of apology. Perfect for kids ages 4 to 9, this story helps children recognize and manage feelings like anger, frustration, guilt, and regret.
