Even real-life superheroes have meltdowns — and this delightful rhyming picture book shows kids (and their grown-ups) exactly what to do about it!

Even Superheroes Have Bad Days follows a colourful cast of superheroes as they navigate the big feelings that come with a truly terrible, no-good day — and discover healthy, positive ways to cope. With action-packed illustrations and an irresistibly bouncy rhyming text, this picture book speaks directly to every child who has ever felt sad, mad, frustrated, lonely, or afraid. It's the perfect tool for parents, teachers, and caregivers looking to open up conversations about emotions in a fun and engaging way.

Big Feelings, Handled Heroically: Shows children that even the mightiest superheroes feel overwhelmed sometimes — and that choosing healthy coping strategies is the truly heroic thing to do.
Practical Ideas Kids Can Use: From going for a bike ride to helping others, the book is packed with real, actionable ways for children to manage difficult emotions.
Irresistible Rhyming Text: The energetic, rhythmic storytelling makes this book a joy to read aloud, keeping little listeners engaged from first page to last.
