Percy the green dinosaur explores practicing gratitude with the help of his friend Custard the unicorn, to turn his bad day around by turning his negative thoughts into positive ones.

Read an Excerpt

He stomps outside his cave to go meet with his friend Custard the unicorn. They have organised a nice playdate out on the sunshiny fields. But dark clouds quickly spread across the sky, and it starts to rain!

“Ahh no, I hate the rain!” exclaims Percy to Custard.

As you can see, Percy is very unhappy with the circumstances in his day. He begins to complain to Custard, “I have had such a bad day. Everything seems to be going wrong! I stubbed my toe, I burnt my toast, and now it’s raining!”

Custard responds calmly, “I’m sorry you feel like you have had a bad day. Your feelings are valid. However, focusing on the negative things in your day only brings about more negative things to complain about!”

“Oh really?” asks Percy.

Review: See how one bad thing leads to another for, Percy, the green dinosaur. It takes his best friend to give him some good advice.

“Focusing on the negative things in your day only brings out more negative things to complain about.”

With cute illustrations, this little story goes to show that a mindset can be a powerful thing. Whenever you feel bad, just think about the things that make you feel good. A nice read about being grateful.
