Publisher Description
The imaginary friend of a very grumpy little girl is determined to cheer her up in this lovely story that celebrates imagination, friendship, and sharing.
Lily loves to draw, but today something feels different.
Things feel a little frumpy and bumpy, just not so and not quite right. Her pencils are too pointy. Her paints are too sloshy. And her crayons are too stubby. Even her friend Bear can’t help, until they realize that Lily has Grumpy Feet! It takes a special friend like Bear to turn Lily’s day around!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this follow-up to Lily and Bear, nothing seems right to Stubbs's heroine, Lily: "The day was too rainy, the teapot was too dribbly, and the sunshine color was missing." After Lily again draws her friend Bear into existence, he diagnoses her with "grumpy feet" and sets out to improve her mood. With its crayony scrawls, bright colors, and childlike renderings, Stubbs's artwork immerses readers in Lily's world, which expands fantastically as Lily and Bear venture into outer space to visit the moon, polish the stars, and locate a baby unicorn. The language can get a bit gushy at times, but Stubbs offers concrete ideas (make a list of things to do, put "happy shoes" on those grumpy feet) that could help some children turn around their own "grouchy and mouchy" days. Ages 4 8.
