A little girl is so excited for a long awaited day at the beach with her parents that her body just can't wait! Her dads help to teach her skills to manage big feelings of excitement and impatience such as slowing down to create a schedule and working together to complete the family's tasks. However, when faced with unexpected changes to the schedule, innovative coping skills are needed. With the help of her family, the little girl is able to tap into her imagination to cope with feelings of impatience and frustration. Together they find an under the sea animal party!
As is the signature of the Everyone's Included in the Animal Party series, each page has recommended reflective questions to engage young readers to connect with the character's emotions and challenges. The book is designed to encourage children to problem solve and elaborate on their feelings and coping skills with or without the guidance of a supportive adult.

REVIEWS
“This comforting story offers gentle guidance to help both young people and adults handle big feelings. K.K.P Dananjali’s expressive illustrations show the curly-haired, bright-eyed little girl as she helps her fathers prepare for their trip, her excitement over their adventure evident on her face. The most delightful images show the family’s undersea gathering, with a grinning, brightly colored octopus, elephant, penguins, jellyfish, and other deep-sea denizens joining them for cupcakes and coffee on the ocean floor.”
—BookLife“As a therapist, I really appreciate the built in questions at the bottom of each page! Parents often tell me they wish they knew what to say or how to have convos that extend what they learn in therapy into everyday life and this does JUST that! Not only do I think kids will benefit form this, but I think parents will by default start to learn how to extend other conversations just by practicing what is built-in here!”
—Montgomery County Counseling Center“As a child therapist, I find books like these so helpful in illustrating and discussing more abstract concepts such as feelings, self-regulation, and differences between people and families. Aunt Kiki's book does a marvelous job sharing an engaging story while also highlighting various themes of patience and imagination. I also love the reflective questions at the bottom of each page. A great story and wonderful teaching tool. I will gladly use this book in my work with children and families.”
—Timothy Q Elliott“As a parent of a 3 year old this book was amazing. Patience is so hard to teach a little one and I felt hopeless every time another tantrum would unfold! I would highly recommend this book to parents!”
