Tycho wakes up believing he’s just destined to have a terrible day. It’s a list of little things that he just knows is going to add up — from waking up grumpy, to having the sun in his eyes, to soggy toast and spilt milk.
But… his mother convinces him that with the right attitude (and enough persistence) even terrible days can be turned around.
A cute rhyming story about a young boy battling his way through and past his so-called terrible day.

★★★★★
“The tale is original, a great read for children and adults ! The illustrations are beautiful and magical, and sometimes mysterious, which invites you looking forward to the next chapter.”

★★★★★
“I enjoyed reading this book and felt that the rhyming message was relevant for not only children but also for adults who were having their own "terrible day". I appreciated the full-page, colorful illustrations with the 'bad day' subtly looming in the background.”
