The Grump Hump: A Rhyming Picture Book About Emotions, Apologies, and Sibling Love – Social Emotional Learning for Kids

The Grump Hump is a beautifully illustrated, rhyming children’s book that teaches emotional regulation, empathy, and the power of apology. Perfect for kids ages 4 to 9, this story helps children recognize and manage feelings like anger, frustration, guilt, and regret.

When a young boy stays in a bad mood too long, a mysterious mood monster-the Grump Hump-attaches itself to him, feeding on his crankiness. But when his sister writes a heartfelt letter, he feels regret. Can an apology make the Grump Hump disappear and heal their bond?
