Brief Summary/Book Usage: This picture book is about a young girl named Sophie. She is always used to getting her way and once she does not, her feelings become hurt and she feels upset. She runs off into the woods by her house and finds a tree to sit up in and reflect. She sits up there for awhile and cools off and realizes that things do not always go her way and she should not get so upset so easily. She returns home and her parents seem worried and ask her if everything is fine. She tells them she just needed some time to herself and she is much better. I would use this book in my classroom so the students could relate to how Sophie feels in this story. I know young students feel upset when things do not go their way, so after seeing how Sophie deals with her anger could help students deal with how they feel sometimes as well. I believe many young students could relate to this story and the neat pictures depict a wonderful story for a young audience.
