Illustrated by
Anna Raff.
Lucy's bad day begins when she can only find one bunny slipper, and worsens as an assortment of unhelpful animals (a cuddly porcupine, flatulent penguins, etc.) parade through her day, making every task more difficult (and absurd). The cumulative text and ink-wash illustrations humorously escalate a relatable experience and offer a positive message about how to turn gray skies blue.
