Book Synopsis: The Rhyme-Time Twins, Chloe and Zoey, are having a tough day at school - absolutely nothing is going well! Can learning about silver linings help turn this awful day around, or will it just continue to get worse and worse?

Join Chloe and Zoey on their next adventure as they process a whole range of emotions from a very difficult day - anger, hurt, sadness, fear, and confusion. With Mom's help, the twins learn how to search for the silver linings from their day, and in so doing, they realize there were actually quite a number of good things that happened, too! The twins talk through their negative experiences, but are then able to celebrate their positive ones as well. By finding gratitude in the happenings of their day, Chloe and Zoey discover how to adjust their fixed mindset to a growth mindset instead.
