How did the story "I Don't Want To Be Grumpy Anymore!" begin? My daughter, 4 years old at the time, was and still is a very spirited child. When she went through her emotions she was often very
loud. As a mother, I tried to guide her through this process but I was not always helpful. I wondered if I could help her make some important connections, if I could read her a book with a
story about emotions. However, I could not find one; and so I wrote this one. I hope you will enjoy reading it to your children like I enjoy reading it to my daughter. This book is dedicated to
my daughter Romana, who we call Romi, and all the children who deserve to be loved. --Leona Fowler, the author
