Friday nights mean one thing in Jamie's house: pizza! It's his favorite night of the week, filled with gooey cheese, laughter, and time with his family. Every Friday, like clockwork, Jamie looks forward to their special tradition: sharing slices, telling stories, and making memories.
But one evening, something feels different. Jamie's mom isn't smiling like she usually does. She's tired, quiet, and not in the mood for pizza. Confused and disappointed, Jamie doesn't understand why things can't be like they always were.
As the night unfolds, Jamie begins to notice small signs-his mom's tired eyes, the way she holds her head, the soft sighs between words. With the help of his dad, Jamie discovers something powerful: that love sometimes looks like giving someone space, offering kindness without words, and learning to see the world from someone else's shoes.
YUCKY PIZZA is a tender, thoughtful story about the big lessons hidden in everyday moments. Through Jamie's eyes, children will learn about empathy, emotional awareness, and the gentle strength of compassion. Perfect for families, classrooms, and counselors, this book opens the door to conversations about caring for others, especially the ones we love the most.
